The Benefits of Massage Based on Your Lifestyle

Massage & The Office Worker

This person typically sits for much of the day, creating stress on the shoulders - particularly during computer work (mouse/touchpad manipulation, and head movement to view images displayed on the monitor). When seated, the muscles and tendons in the legs and hips change in length and lose flexibility. Over time the back, legs, and buttocks tighten, which contributes to pain. Massage therapy can help rehydrate, lengthen, and oxygenate the areas pinched and tightened from sitting and repetitive motion.

Massage & The Athlete

Performance workouts stress the entire body. The athlete's toxin levels increase as their hydration levels decrease. Athletic massage can help release excess toxins from muscles and associated tissues, as well as increase blood flow, hydration, and oxygen flow throughout the body. As a result, the athlete tends to recover more quickly.

Massage & The Weekend Warrior

Without a daily practice of physical exercise and stretching, weekend athletes, gardeners, and hikers are susceptible to injuries from overworked and tiring muscles. This person is at risk of injury and chronic pain because once-weekly exercise does not allow the "warrior" to build conditioning and endurance. Massage service can help prevent injuries and therefore increase the likelihood that these individuals can transition to more regular exercise.

Massage & A New Exercise Program

Individuals who commit to "getting in shape" after a period of inactivity are also susceptible to injury - or at the very least, pain and stiffness. This often leads to the new athlete abandoning their program. If massage therapy is incorporated from the beginning, overworked muscles can be rehydrated and oxygenated by returning blood flow to the affected areas for quicker recovery and less pain.
