Why make massage part of your wellness routine? Massage can be an excellent tool for your health.
Massages don't just make you feel good, they make you feel good.
If you were looking for excuses to get a massage before, look no further. It has been proven that taking these therapies regularly improves your physical and mental health. That's why massages, once seen as a luxury or frivolity, are now recognised as a basic tool for wellness and self-care.
Reasons to make massage part of your wellness routine
- The most obvious one - this therapy done by a professional helps to release tension and pain from the body. But why? Massage increases circulation, which oxygenates the area being worked on and this helps to reduce pain and inflammation.
- Helps the nervous system - they improve circulation, which helps the lymphatic system to get rid of toxins and this strengthens the immune system.
- Relaxing with a massage causes your body to release endorphins - the happiness hormones - and regulate stress-causing hormones such as cortisol.
- Massages reduce blood pressure by calming the sympathetic nervous system.
- Massages help raise melatonin levels which makes sleep deeper and more revitalizing.
How often should I give you a massage?
- If you are looking to maintain your general wellbeing, a session every one to two months is recommended.
- If you want to manage your stress or help some pain is recommended one every one or two weeks.
- If you are looking to improve your physical performance, 2 or 3 sessions per week are recommended, preferably after your workout.
In any case, and even better, at Zen to Go you can easily request a in-home massagecertified professional.
