Massages are more than a spa-day feature. They can greatly affect how your body feels and moves and can improve many aspects of your day-to-day life. The health benefits of massage are numerous, including better blood circulation, pain relief, better posture, improved general performance of your body, stress relief, and anxiety assistance.
Why Massage Works
Massage works by stimulating muscle groups that are having issues. Some of these issues can include struggling to maintain balance, strains, tightening, or tears. Massage directly addresses those tensions that cause you aches and pains. This is why it is considered a great destress mechanism. Further, when paired with chiropractic care, you can find ultimate and immediate pain relief. Massages done before chiropractic spine alignments relax the muscles, so the alignment is faster and longer-lasting because of the relaxed muscle tensions and joints.
Types of Massages
Here at Healthy Life, we want your treatments to benefit you in the most ways possible. So, we offer a large list of different massages. They all work in different ways, according to what your body needs in order to get the most out of the possible health benefits of massage. Here are only some of the massages we offer and a few of their direct benefits:
Cold Stone Massage: This massage uses cold stones down the spine in order to stop swelling, reduce pain, and promote healing. This massage also directly helps to improve posture because of the weight of the stones and the manipulation of the muscles in the back.
Deep Tissue Massage: This massage is done using only our hands and gives deeper and more lasting relief. This type of massage will also increase performance in your body since it will help to break up those bundles of toxins that get trapped at the edges of your muscles.
Neuromuscular Re-Education: This massage works by manipulating your soft tissues to realign them with your central nervous system. In a sense, this works just like the spinal alignment, but on a smaller scale. This will help to significantly improve posture and have lasting preventative measures for your body.
