  There's no denying the power of bodywork.  Regardless of the adjective we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out  ( a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.

The incredible benefits of massage are doubly powerful if taken in regular "doses."  Professionals at the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami explain the more massage you get, the greater benefits you reap.  Here's why:

Experts estimate that upwards of 90% if disease is stress related.  And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress.  While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress.  This translates into:

• Decreased anxiety
• Enhanced sleep quality
• Greater energy
• Improved concentration
• Increased Circulation
• Reduced fatigue 

Furthermore, clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a massage.  The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.

In response to massage, specific physiological and chemical changes cascade throughout the body, with profound effects.  Research shows that with massage:

• Arthritis sufferers note fewer aches and less stiffness and pain
• Asthmatic children show better pulmonary function and increased peak air flow
• Burn injury patients report reduced pain, itching and anxiety
• High blood pressure patients demonstrate lower diastolic blood pressure, anxiety and stress hormones.
• Premenstrual syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and cramping.
• Preterm infants have improved weight gain 

Research continues to show the enormous benefits of touch - which range from treating chronic disease, neurological disorders and injuries, to alleviating the tensions of modern lifestyles.

Here's the beauty of bodywork: its benefits are compound when massage is utilized as a frequent therapy.  the more you get, the more it does.

Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self care can play a huge part in how healthy you'll be and how youthful you'll remain with each passing year.  Consider massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan.
