Benefits of Massage Therapy:
Massage therapy is a holistic therapy which supports your physical and emotional needs by:
- Reducing muscle pain and tension, and increasing flexibility / range of motion
- Stimulating the immune / circulatory systems
- Alleviating anxiety by providing invaluable mental downtime
- Enabling you to experience a sense of bliss and euphoria in a healthful manner
- Increasing performance in mental and physical tasks through increased clarity and better health
The Harmful Effects of Stress:
According to a recent occupational health study, 50% of lost work time was attributed to stress-related illness. Think about it… stress is not only bad for our well-being, but bad for business.
Stress can lead to muscle pain, headaches, greater susceptibility to illness, increased anxiety, lowered productivity, and burnout.
The best way to combat stress is through practice. That is, through the practice of leading a balanced, healthful lifestyle that is both productive and restorative.
The Art of Living Well:
The art of living well requires the exercise of common sense. Making lifestyle choice that nourish the whole person leads to a balanced and abundant life. People who practice that art of living well tend to:
- Eat healthy, well balanced meals
- Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily
- Get plenty of sleep
- Exercise 3-5 times per week for 30 minutes
- Pursue hobbies and passions
- Surround themselves with positive people
- Pray, meditate, and foster an inner life
- Volunteer their time to a worthwhile cause
In addition, they choose to enhance their sense of well-being by incorporating regular sessions of bodywork in their routine
We give our cars preventative maintenance on a regular basis, don’t you think we deserve the same benefit?
The Power of Choice:
Many people forget the power of their choices. Take it from Hafiz, the 14th century Persian poet, who had some sage advice on the art of living well:
"Learn to recognize the counterfeit coins that buy you a moments pleasure, then drag you for days like a broken man behind a smelling camel".
Be smart! Make positive lifestyle choices that help you avoid feeling like (or smelling the back end of) a beast of burden.
