The human body experiences physiological stresses during winter. How your body responds to these stresses depends on how healthy you are. If your body doesn’t respond well, you can suffer from health problems, such as colds and flu, frost bite, hypothermia, heart attacks, depression, and more. You can avoid these via massage therapy.
Massage therapy can be beneficial to the body no matter the season. However, it’s especially important during the winter because it helps prevent your body from succumbing to the harsh effects of cold weather.
5 Big reasons to call for Mobile Massage this winter!
1. BEAT WINTER BLUES Massage therapy helps your emotional and psychological wellness to stay healthy and stress free. Massage can increase serotonin and dopamine production to reduce anxiety, depression, and seasonal affective disorder.
2. IMMUNE BOOSTER Massage therapy is a proven immune booster. Massage increases lymph flow which fights off infections and bacteria, boosting your immune system during the cold and flu season!
3. DRY SKIN Dry winter air, blustery wind, and the blazing heater can dry your skin quickly. Massage therapy is proven to improve skin hydration during these dry winter months.
4. SHOVELLING Cold fingers, numb feet, and tired muscles. Deep tissue massage can decrease inflammation and help muscles repair. Getting a massage after shovelling is exactly what your lower back, shoulders, and forearms are screaming for.
5. CIRCULATION Low temperature causes the blood vessels to constrict, decreasing blood circulation and increasing blood pressure. This can bring on many discomforts, aches, pains and arthritis. Regular massage enhances blood flow, naturally lowering blood pressure, increasing body temperature, and improving body function.
Cold weather can bring on many discomforts, aches, pains and arthritis but massage therapy can help by increasing circulation to muscles, joints, and organs. Improved circulation increases body warmth, provides healthier blood pressure levels, and increases the flow of oxygen throughout the body.
