Many people associate massage with vacations or spas and consider them something of a luxury. A common misconception about massage is that it’s only part of a spa day and intended for pampering yourself. While this may be true for some people, in recent research, it has been found to frequently be a tool for stress reduction and pain relief.
There are many benefits to massage, which is now viewed as an important tool in promoting mental and physical health. Massages are currently more affordable and available right here in SaddleBrooke at DesertView Fitness and Wellness Center.
Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing, and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Massage may range from light stroking to deep pressure. Massage therapy is safe and effective for people of all ages. For us seniors, some overall physical benefits can be improved, such as circulation, decreased joint inflammation, better sleep quality, and improved flexibility. Many of the mental benefits are improved relaxation, decreased anxiety, more energy, lower stress levels, and an increased feeling of wellness. Specific conditions that massage can help include depression, digestive disorders, soft tissue strains and injuries, headaches, and Insomnia.
Massage is increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.
