Valentine’s Day is here, but we want to focus on showing love to the most important person in your life: yourself.

Practicing Self-Care With Massage in Newnan, GA

We’re conditioned to view anything that makes us feel good as selfish or unnecessary. Practicing self-care is anything but self-centered, and it’s an important way to protect your well-being. Taking some time each day to show yourself some form of kindness can be hugely beneficial for your mental, emotional, and physical health.

If you’re trying to look after your health from a holistic perspective, the benefits of massage can’t be overlooked. Massage therapy has restorative qualities, helping to relieve pain, ease stress, and prevent injuries. You’ll notice a difference right away and well after each appointment, and those feelings will keep you coming back for more.

The Health Benefits of Different Types of Massage

At Healthy Life Chiropractic, we offer several different massage techniques with a wide range of health benefits. If practicing self-care is one of your priorities in 2024, cold stone, deep tissue, and Swedish massage are all excellent options.

Swedish massage may be the best-known technique, and it’s one of the most effective at promoting general relaxation. What makes this style unique is a gliding stroke called effleurage, which complements kneading and rolling to help improve circulation and decrease muscle tension. Other health benefits associated with Swedish massage include lower blood pressure, better mobility, and faster injury recovery.

Cold stone massage, as the name suggests, uses chilled stones to relax the muscles. This helps flush out waste and lower inflammation, which makes it easier to heal from physical fatigue. Cold stone massage can also help ease the mind and reduce anxiety levels, making it a great tool for practicing self-care from a mental and emotional perspective.

If your self-care routine involves exercise, try getting a deep tissue massage after your workout. This technique flushes out the lactic acid that causes soreness in the muscles, helping you relax more on your off days and get back into the gym with greater intensity. If you’re trying to overcome the pain caused by health issues like tendinitis or arthritis, the benefits of regular deep tissue massage are worth exploring.

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

They are terrific and very professional. Dr. Tina is very educated in her field. Between treatments and supplements, I am feeling much better. I would, and have, recommend Dr. Tina to my friends."
