Why Every Mom Needs a Massage

Every mom in your life deserves to be pampered – especially on Mother’s Day. But Massage Therapy provides much more than that – it can also relieve stress, reduce pain, lower blood pressure, and improve circulation and flexibility. It’s an experience that not only relaxes, but promotes good health – and a perfect way to show your mom how much you appreciate her!

Benefits of Massage Therapy

• Relieve stress. Massage has been shown to relieve stress, one of the biggest negative health impactors. Studies have shown that the stress hormone cortisol is lower in the body after massage.
• Reduce pain. Massage Therapy can reduce pain by increasing blood flow and releasing natural painkillers, called opioids, in the brain.
• Lower blood pressure. Along with stress relief, studies show that blood pressure can be lowered using Massage Therapy, promoting a healthy heart.
• Improve circulation. Massage stimulates circulation of the lymph fluids in your blood, carrying metabolic wastes away and flushing healing nutrients into the cells, allowing for improved bodily functioning and muscle recovery.
• Improve flexibility. Massage therapy improves flexibility that can reduce injuries and increase performance.
