Massage - The Perfect New Year’s Resolution

Did you know that receiving massages regularly is more than just a luxury, it has real health benefits? In fact, regular massages can transform your body and help you achieve your New Year’s resolutions, especially those that involve improved health, wellness, and overall vitality. Whether your New Year’s resolution is to exercise more, to be healthier, or to be more productive, massage can help you reach your goals. Here are a few reasons to add massage to your list of New Year’s resolutions:

-     Many people use this time to get back into shape, lose weight, or step up their athletic performance. Massage should be an integral part of your exercise routine because it helps to increase range of motion and flexibility, reduce pain and inflammation, and decrease recovery time.

-     Similarly, if you are looking to improve your overall health in 2018, adding massage to your list of resolutions is essential. Massage has many health benefits including boosting immunity, increasing circulation, flushing bodily toxins, lowering blood pressure, and regulating blood sugar. It also has positive effects on mental health by relaxing the body and the mind and relieving stress.

-     Massage is one of the most effective ways to relieve stress and keep stress hormone levels in control. Massage is also a great way to relax, rest, and rejuvenate. When we allow our bodies and our minds time for rejuvenation and relaxation, we actually perform better. Massage also helps improve sleep quality, which in turn, improves productivity throughout the day. Bottom line, incorporating rest and relaxation is the path to a more productive year.

Achieve your New Year’s resolutions this year by incorporating massage into your routine. This will improve your quality of life and your overall health. Happy New Year! For questions about therapeutic massage services at Epiphany Pilates, contact Mary Kubisch, mary@epiphanypilates.com. Book now!
