Massage: Did You Know?


Beyond the many physical benefits, relaxation chair massage helps reduce stress, anxiety and fatigue, allowing the body and mind to be better in tune.
.
Every muscle and nerve in the body is interconnected in some way. When you have a sore back or tight neck, or when you're constantly straining your eyes, the ripple effect can travel throughout the body.
.
Tight, sore muscles can throw off the body's balance. And, before long, muscles that were not initially tight begin to tense as they compensate for other parts of the body. The chain reaction spreads through the body impacting posture. Relaxation chair massage addresses the problem immediately, easing muscles and enabling the body to maintain a healthy posture.
.
The cumulative effects of relaxation chair massage can strengthen and tone the body to help prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension.
.
Relaxation massage has been proven to improve the mind's ability to monitor stress signals and respond appropriately, enhancing capacity for calm thinking and creativity.
.
High blood pressure (or hypertension) is when the blood moves through the arteries at a higher pressure than normal, which can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure. Regular massage helps to combat the effects of stress - a leading contributor to high blood pressure - helping to lower blood pressure and maintain the body's natural sense of wellness.
.
When afflicted with back pain, even the simplest tasks become huge challenges. Relaxation chair massage improves blood flow to oxygen-starved back muscles and prompts the body to release endorphin's - the body's natural painkiller.
.
From birth, humans have the need for contact and nurturing. Relaxation chair massage fulfills this need while providing a retreat from the real world.
Spasms and cramps can be painful, unexpected and frustrating. By gently and gradually stretching and manipulating muscles, regular relaxation massage can ease pain and hasten recovery time.
.
Whether it's tight deadlines, relationship problems or a flat tire, we all face stressful situations every single day. Both short and long term stress trigger changes in the body, which increases the likelihood of becoming unwell.
.
Relaxation massage helps to reduce stress and improve blood flow, thereby enabling the heart to pump the same amount of blood with less effort, which can lead to improved heart health.
.
The lymphatic system rids the body of wastes such as bacteria, viruses and toxins. Relaxation chair massage helps to promote healthy lymph flow by working to reduce fatigue and stress, stimulating the body to remove potentially damaging waste products.
.
Over strained muscles cannot function properly. A relaxation chair massage can help athletic adults of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts by stimulating blood flow to tight muscles, joints and ligaments The results are faster recovery and improved range of motion.
.
Virtually every symptom listed by the American Psychological Association can benefit from relaxation massage.
.
Relaxation chair massage prompts the body to move from sympathetic activity to parasympathetic activity, enabling the mind to calm and slow down - similar to taking your foot off the gas in a car. This respite from intense thought and stress "restarts" the mind and restores a healthy mental state.
.
The cumulative effects of relaxation chair massage can strengthen and tone the body to help prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension.
.
Eldercare massage can offer senior citizens a number of benefits on multiple levels. Seniors often suffer from a variety of age-related diseases and as a result, they may have limited physical activity and/or poor blood circulation. BC Eldercare Massage can help these seniors maintain and assist in improving their overall health, as well as help regain certain physical functions that have been reduced or lost due to aging and health issues.
.
The gentle techniques used during a relaxation chair massage cause blood to flush in and out of muscles and joints, increasing the delivery of vital oxygen and nutrients. This process can, in some cases, aid recovery time from injuries and provide the entire body with a greater sense of wellness.
.
In summary, the cumulative effects of relaxation chair massage can not only strengthen and tone but also help to prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension and stress. Never has something so comfortable, practical and convenient helped so many people feel better, play better and perform better.
