It’s that time of year again when the weather gets colder and everyone is rushing around with their busy lives, trying to make deadlines, organising children, running to and from football games and quick dashes to the corner store to get dinner sorted.
Did you know that STRESS is one of the key elements to lowered immunity?
Over the coming months it is important to take just a little more time to think about your health and try not to get the dreaded cold & flu.
Here’s 3 Ways to Reduce Stress to Avoid the Flu!
- Regular exercise - moving releases all stress relieving chemicals into your blood stream.
- Eating well - fuel your body with high octane foods to build your immunity fast.
- Enjoy a massage - taking time out for yourself to loosen your sore, knotted & tired muscles is a proven stress-reliever.
Massage can not only rid your body of those aches and pains that plague you during the colder months but also allow your body and mind to regenerate instantly during the hour treatment. There are different types of massage that can benefit your stress reduction. Two of them are Relaxation and Remedial.
Relaxation Massage is when you pamper yourself with a light to medium pressure that helps promote blood flow to your muscles, tissue and skin for healthy skin and all over wellness. It also aids fluid movement in the upper and lower extremities for those of you who suffer from cold hands and feet.
Remedial Massage can be a more specific massage aimed at certain problem areas. It is a firm to fairly firm pressure that targets specific muscles that may be causing pain or aggravation in certain areas. Remedial is also used as an all over body treatment to relax muscles and work out knots that Relaxation Massage just doesn’t get deep enough to work through.
If you are suffering from a cold or flu or are feeling like you are coming down with something and are just not “feeling yourself” then massage is a great way to aid in both your mind and body recovery. You will be amazed at the difference it makes.
While you have your massage you can ask any of our qualified massage therapists questions that can also help with your specific condition as there are many other options combined with massage that can help you on your journey through this busy life we lead.
Have a cold & flu-free winter and stay relaxed!
