Don’t Feel Guilty About Getting that Massage!
Every muscle in your body hurts and you’re just aching to get a massage. There are many different activities that make up a good wellness routine and massage is just one of those elements. In addition to nutrition, exercise, and chiropractic care, massage therapy offers healing properties for your overall health and well-being, so don’t feel guilty when you call to schedule your massage!
Physical, mental and emotional health benefits of massage:
- Massage improves the circulation of oxygen-carrying blood to the extremities and helps eliminate wastes from the body.
- Massage relaxes you, relieves stress and anxiety, and supports feelings of general well-being.
- Massage works with your chiropractic care to retrain muscles that support your spine.
- Massage helps in managing the pain associated with certain physical conditions, such as arthritis and sciatica as well as conditions caused by a motor vehicle accident or work injury.
- Massage serves to either stimulate or relax the nervous system, depending on the type of massage being administered.
Just keep in mind that a massage is not a substitute for chiropractic care! Although the two may work in conjunction with one another, chiropractic adjustments keep your nervous system functioning properly.
