Perhaps you\u2019ve recently pulled a muscle and went in for that once-a-year massage because the pain was unbearable. Or maybe you used that holiday gift card because you found it while cleaning out your junk drawer. Regardless, these are just some of the ways people receive their first and sometimes only massage. But this is often the wrong approach. To truly experience the full benefits of a massage, consistency is key. At LaVida Massage, we don\u2019t see massage as a luxury or simple pampering. No, we know that regular massages offer psychological and physiological benefits that can significantly enhance your overall physical and mental well-being.<\/p>\n
We know that regular massage therapy not only improves flexibility and range of motion but it also stimulates recovery by increasing blood flow around the muscles. In essence, regular massages promote consistent and accelerated recovery (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health<\/a>).<\/p>\n Mental Health:<\/strong><\/em> The power of touch is known to improve mental wellness. While your massage therapist works on your physical wellness and range of motion, endorphins and serotonin (the feel-good hormones) are released, enhancing your mood and promoting relaxation. Remember that floating feeling after your massage? That\u2019s those endorphins in action. Now imagine having that consistent relaxation every month.<\/p>\n Stress Management:<\/strong><\/em> Stress management is often discussed in social media, blogs, or work seminars, but what does that practice look like in our everyday lives? Regular massage sessions have similar effects to meditation, reducing your risk of stress-related health issues such as heart disease, hypertension, digestive problems, migraines, and more (American Massage Therapy Association<\/a>). This isn\u2019t a monthly relaxation getaway, but it\u2019s practicing what many medical professionals are now preaching.<\/p>\nLong-term Health and Well-being<\/b><\/h2>\n
