Stress Buster!

In this hectic life, we have no time to take care of ourselves, hence massage is needed for rejuvenation and stress reduction. A lot of people are looking for quick fixes: like, they are taking medications, and they are doing other things which are not healthy. But massage is very holistic and natural.

A few years ago I decided to go on a massage course, I figured it would enhance my practice and in fairness, it did to a certain degree however, I've not used the skills I learned very much recently and subsequently a few months ago I decided to go on a refresher.

The training I attended was an Anti-Stress relax massage course and it was fantastic, I know it was fantastic because people keep coming back for more!

While therapists and life coaches will tell you the best way to reduce stress is to work fewer hours or avoid tense situations, in our fast-paced modern world this can seem impossible. Luckily, massage therapy is powerful way to reduce stress without giving away your worldly possessions and relocating to a mountaintop in the Himalayas! Here are just a few of the reasons massage therapy is so effective at melting away stress:

Stress affects more than just your mind. Research has found that stress affects every part of your body – when you carry too much tension, it seems natural that it can lead to muscle stiffness and pain. But what you might not realize is that, according to the Mayo clinic, it’s also linked to headaches, fatigue, stomach problems, and difficulty sleeping. Massage is the perfect way to lift your mood. Think about it – during times of high stress, do you ever find yourself feeling anxious or depressed? Do you have trouble relaxing and getting the rest you need? Is it hard to focus or get things done? Maybe you feel overwhelmed, or just unusually irritable. Whatever effect stress has on your mood, a massage is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable ways to let your daily stress simply disappear.

Daily stress makes it hard for people to control their behavior. The Mayo Clinic has linked stress to overeating, drug and alcohol abuse, tobacco use and social withdrawal – it’s even a major reason people tend to slack on their exercise plan. Keeping your stress in check is one of the best ways to stay on track to meet your goals. The main reason I decided a knowledge in this area would be a good thing was I’d read some research relative to the impact of massage on chronic diseases. Preliminary research has shown that massage therapy can help patients manage the pain and stress of chronic health issues, including joint pain, sports injuries, soft tissue injuries, digestive disorders, and even hard-to-manage conditions like fibromyalgia. When combined with a treatment program from your regular doc, it can do wonders! Massage therapy leads to a healthier heart. Research has shown that regular massage therapy helps lower blood pressure and heart rate, reducing the strain on your heart and helping you maintain a healthier circulatory system.

So, whether you’re working to be healthier, or trying to stay in shape, massage is a powerful tool to help you reach your fitness goals. So, if you feel like the sky is about to fall down and the end of the world is just around the corner, do yourself a favour and find a local therapist!
