Benefits of Massage

Relaxation is something in our busy, stressful lives that we think is a luxury.  Relax?  Who?  Me?  When do I have time to do nothing or to be frivolous?

Did you know, stress affects our Immune System?  How about our Insulin/Sugar levels or our Heart and Circulatory Systems?  Stress is a killer.  It affects our ability to perform our work well, our patience with ourselves and others and our ability to enjoy life.  And I don't know about you, but I know life is difficult enough without carrying around extra stress.

So, what can we do to minimize stress in our lives?  How about a massage?  A massage gives us time to stop and regroup.  The style of massage typically used for relaxation is a gentle, rhythmic technique called Swedish Massage. It is calming to have our tight muscles kneaded and stretched in such a way that the tension melts away.  Along with the decrease of muscular tension comes the decrease of physical stress as well as the mental and emotional stress from our every-day lives.
