Top 5 Reasons to Get a Massage

At Lords and Ladies, our skilled massage therapists work diligently to provide you with the ultimate experience. While you certainly don't need an excuse to treat yourself to a massage, there are many benefits associated with them that may surprise you. Here are five healthy reasons to book an appointment today.

Pain Reduction

Got sore muscles? Massage therapy can help by increasing blood flow and reducing muscle tension. A massage can relieve pain in many areas of the body, including the neck, shoulders, hip joints, and knees. Studies have also found massage therapy to be as effective as other treatment methods for back pain.

Do you sit for long periods of time at a desk or behind the wheel of car? Booking an appointment with your massage therapist on a regular basis can counteract nagging neck and back pain and improve poor posture by allowing your body to relax into its natural alignment.

Stress Relief

A therapeutic massage can be helpful in reducing anxiety and stress. Studies have shown that a massage lowers your body’s levels of cortisol, known as the “stress hormone” which, when too high, suppresses the immune system and is associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, insulin resistance, sleeplessness and weight gain.

When cortisol levels decline, serotonin - one of the body's anti-pain mechanisms - increases by about 28 percent after receiving a massage. By lowering cortisol and increasing serotonin, you are boosting your body's ability to fight off stress, anxiety and feelings of sadness.

Fewer Headaches

Stiff muscles can interfere with the flow of blood in the body. One common result is a pounding headache. Luckily, massage therapy is a great way to boost blood flow and circulation, making headaches less frequent and severe.

More Energy

If you're feeling run down, massage can be an excellent solution. While it doesn't directly increase energy, massage therapy reduces the chronic symptoms of pain, depression and fatigue that sap our energy. Massage helps us to feel better, sleep better and function more efficiently.

Well-Being & Relaxation

Men and women who make massage therapy a part of their regular routines find that it improves their overall health and well-being. If you have a high stress career or a hectic lifestyle, you will need a relaxing activity to maintain your health and balance.

If you don't stop to relax, you can become overwhelmed and counterproductive. A relaxing massage is an excellent way to pamper yourself and let the world fade away for just a little while.
