Massage is an amazing therapy for dealing with pain, injury, rehab and preparation for surgery. True? Yep, definitely.

But massage isn’t just for those in pain – it also keeps you well and improves your ability to cope.

How?

Massage has many documented benefits, amongst which are Flexibility, improved Blood flow – oxygenation & removal of waste products, Reduces blood pressure, Improves the immune system function …

Massage will also:

• Treat headaches and migraines and regular treatments will reduce the frequency of those conditions.

• Improve your quality of sleep – and how much better is your whole day when you have had a great night’s sleep?!

But more even than these, I know – and my regular clients attest to this – regular massage makes one BIG difference over and above all of these.

Massage Improves Our Ability to Cope With LIFE

That may seem like a bold claim, but think about it …

• If you sleep better, you’ll have more energy and be able to cope with a busy day better.

• If your immune system is stronger, you’ll likely keep going after others have dropped by the wayside with colds and other viruses.

• If you are more flexible and your muscle tone is better, you’ll be better able to withstand the physical rigours of a busy, active lifestyle.

Imagine you and I as occupants of our own rowing boats. Now think about life and all it’s demands as the water through which we move.  We row through the water, sometimes with the tide, sometimes not!

Imagine water getting into the boat and making us heavier, slower, more sluggish. It’s more difficult to row and steer and life just gets harder. Each additional drop brings us closer to overflowing or drowning.

Massage “bails out the boat”

Massage bails out the boat.  In other words, time on the couch allows us to release and get rid of what has accumulated – tension, stress, physical tightness, emotional holding, anxiety, worry, tiredness …

When our boat is lighter, we are more agile, quicker to respond and we have spare capacity to cope with whatever comes our way.

Would you expect your car to run for 100,000 miles without a preventative service?

You’d likely be disappointed if you did – not to mention seriously let down at the most inconvenient time!

Don’t do this to yourself.

Make time to recover and improve your ability to cope.

Get that boat bailed out regularly.
