Why should I get massage regularly?

Stress build up is serious business. Massage not only feels relaxing, but it can help us process and release stress. When stress builds up over time, bigger problems can arise. The power of touch can transform your life. Touch is one of our most basic, primal needs. Touch deprivation is linked to immune system disorders, anxiety and depression.

Here's a break down of what to expect during your visits. First, we will go over any medical information and get a better understanding of what it is you need. For first timers, I highly recommend starting out with a Swedish Massage. This is the basic massage to allow your body to relax and be able to receive touch. After discussing any medical matters, areas of pain and discomfort and what a typical day is like for you, the therapist will leave the room allowing your privacy to dress down and get onto the massage table and under the sheets. Dressing down means removing clothes and bra. Underwear is optional. You will be draped professionally with sheets, only uncovering the area in which you will receive work. 

The most important (and sometimes the most difficult, at first) is learning to relax. Let your body fall limp, as if your were pretending to be asleep. The more relaxed you are, the more your body and mind will reap the benefits of massage. Focus on your breath, notice when you may be shallow breathing or even trying to hold your breath. This is very common only because we tend to do this all throughout the day. Relaxing is an acquired skill. Stomach gurgling is also a very common occurrence. When the body is in a stressed state, proper digestion isn't important because you are in a flight, fight, or flee state. Once your body begins to relax then the digestive system starts to kick in, it's a good sign your body is relaxed and beginning the stages of healing itself. Falling asleep is also very common and nothing to be embarrassed about. Falling asleep allows the body to really get in some healing recovery time. Falling asleep during a massage, even an hour, equates to a full nights sleep of 7-8 hours. 

After your massage you will feel lighter and at ease. It's very important to drink plenty of water after a massage. Drinking water will help flush out toxins that are released from tense muscles and help the body restore and further heal itself.
