Making a commitment to your health
When you take care of yourself, you feel better. You are paying attention to your pain and dealing with it. Most people who have dealt with chronic illness or stress realize that they have to communicate with their bodies by asking: What can I do to help my body? Listening to your body is the first step toward a healthy life. Ignoring it is how you stay in pain. Touch therapies relieve depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and many more symptoms.
Massage therapy is a wonderful way to relieve mind and body. Discomfort and illness arises from stress or poor management of your daily life. Massage can help because memories and pain are stored in the cells and can be released through touch. Combining energy therapy and massage is very effective with all levels of stress. Energy therapy can reveal hidden emotional stress and open up a way to release it.
What is the cause of pain?
There are many causes of physical distress. Some causes are overwork, poor diet, lack of proper exercise, poor posture, repetitive movements which stress certain muscles. For example, sitting all day at a computer or driving for hours can really affect your lower and upper back muscles. Headaches can be a result of upper back and neck tension. Carpal tunnel and tennis elbow can result from repetitive arm and hand movements. Many bad habits can be corrected once you recognize the cause of your pain. My practice is dedicated to finding a way out of pain forever. There is no need to suffer any longer when other treatments have failed. Natural therapies are sometimes more effective and are longer lasting than chemicals.
Why massage?
Massage has been proven to relieve musculoskeletal pain and decrease tension. It is now widely recognized as a viable medical therapy by the medical community and is recommended as a complementary medical therapy because its proven effectiveness in treating pain. Research has shown over the past 30 years that massage can help where many other therapies and drugs may not. Massage is now offered in most hospitals and medical centers around the world. It is a wonderful compliment to chiropractic or physical therapy allowing you to receive more benefit from these treatments.
So, who needs massage?
Well, everyone! Therapeutic Massage can benefit every person since stress is the number one cause of illness in the world.
Most people know that massage is relaxing, but did you know that it reduces blood pressure and releases endorphins? How? Massage triggers your parasympathetic nervous system, which tells your body to rest and recover. This is the counterpart to the “fight or flight” sympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system relaxes you, increases digestion, lowers blood pressure, and encourages the release of endorphins which relax you. This eases your muscles, increases range of motion of joints, and encourages deeper breathing.
Why do people fail to get a massage when needed?
Most people think they don’t have the money or the time. It takes a commitment to your own life and happiness to truly be happy. What if you could prevent stress or illness by getting a regular massage, saving you a lot of money on drugs or pain relievers? Wouldn’t you rather have a pain-free life, rather than wait until the stress turns into a disease or condition that requires surgery or drugs?
You have to admit that being free of pain is a condition that most people don’t think possible. If you do have a chronic condition or pain or are just stressed today and are seeking relief, massage can truly benefit just about any condition you may be suffering from. Call now and set up your first appointment: 608-432-1966. You will be so glad you did.
My joy is in helping to restore you to a life of happiness and well being! Don’t resist your pain free life! It is right around the corner.
I look forward to seeing you in Baraboo or Madison, Wisconsin.
Thank you!
