TIP 2124 – Everyone Deserves a Massage

Listen to today's podcast...

There is nothing more relaxing than having a skilled massage therapist work out the tension from overly taunt neck and shoulder muscles.

Massage can be an important component to promoting mental health.

Stress causes the blood vessels to constrict and reduce circulation. Muscles become tense. This decreased circulation to our brain hinders our ability to focus, problem-solve and be productive. When our muscles are tense, our bodies become tight and sore.

Massage can increase circulation and promote the body’s relaxation response. The other benefit is that a massage can takes you out of the hectic pace and forces you to be still and to let your mind wander for a period of time. When our mind is allowed to relax it is better able to focus when we need it to after the massage.
