More than Just a Massage—Why Getting a Massage is Important for Your Health

We’ve heard it all our lives—getting a massage is a luxury, a treat, something on the same lines as going to the spa for a day and lounging in a bath with cucumbers over our eyes. While this can be true for some massage services, the full truth is that getting a massage is not just for pampering. Sure, you can get a massage during your vacation for a chance to take a break and relax, but you should also be seeing a massage therapist at home, after work, and during moments in life where you feel like you’re far from those good vacation vibes. The truth is that massage is good for your health—excellent, even. It’s more than that luxurious, frivolous, once-in-a-lifetime moment of relaxation that many expect it to be. The health benefits of massage are vast and address a broad range of ailments, most of which can be solved by—surprise!—going to your local massage therapist and having the bad stuff worked out. Many massage styles work on detoxifying the body, replenishing energy, and pinpointing exactly where the cause of your pains originates. Our bodies are full of tiny interconnected details, and massage practices like Foot Reflexology or Hand Reflexology utilize these pathways to locate issues deeper in the body. And these practices not only locate the problem; they can often help cure them. So the next time you debate getting a massage but are put off by thinking it’s a luxury, think again! Getting a massage can be just as important for your health as going to see the doctor—and we recommend you do both!
