A Powerful Health Ally
The Benefits of Frequent Massage
There’s no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives we assign
to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious
treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your
healthcare regimen.
Researchers say the incredible benefits of massage are doubly powerful if taken in
regular “doses.” Professionals at the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami
explain the more massage you get, the greater benefits you reap. Here’s why:
The Health Benefits
Experts estimate that upwards of 90 percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps
nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating
anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast paced world may be idealistic, massage can,
without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates into:
• Decreased anxiety • Enhanced sleep quality • Greater energy
• Improved concentration • Increased circulation • Reduced fatigue
Furthermore, clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a
massage. The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and
valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.
In response to massage, specific physiological and chemical changes cascade throughout
the body, with profound effects. Research shows that with massage:
• Asthmatic children show better pulmonary function.
• Arthritis sufferers note fewer aches and discomforts.
• Burn injury patients report reduced pain and anxiety.
• High blood pressure patients demonstrate lower diastolic blood pressure and
stress hormones.
• Premenstrual syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and cramping.
• Preterm infants have improved weight gain.
Research continues to show the enormous benefits of touch--which range from treating
chronic diseases, neurological disorders, and injuries, to alleviating the tensions of
modern lifestyles. Consequently, the medical community is actively embracing bodywork,
and massage is becoming an integral part of hospice care and neonatal intensive care
units. Many hospitals are also incorporating on-site massage practitioners and even spas
to treat postsurgery or pain patients as part of the recovery process.
Help Yourself to Health
Here’s the beauty of bodywork: Its benefits are compounded when massage is utilized as
a frequent therapy. The more you get, the more it does.
Taking part in this form of regularly-scheduled self-care plays a huge part in how healthy
you’ll be and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year. Budgeting time and
money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And
remember: just because massage feels like a pampering treat doesn’t mean it is any
less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and
wellness plan, and work with your practitioner to establish a treatment schedule that best
meets your needs.
