Majestic Massage

Hey Everyone! Today I am talking about using massage for self-care! I believe that it is very important to incorporate into your life. I will also talk about how you could potentially more easily afford it.

There are so many benefits to massage. Massage can help reduce anxiety and depression. It can help to reduce cortisol (up to 50%), which in turn can increase your serotonin levels. This is the chemical that regulates mood. Through doing these things, massage can also help to regulate your sleep!! Massage can improve your immune function. It can help to stimulate the production of more white blood cells, which will help your body to fight off infections. The decreased cortisol (stress) can also help your body to stay strong and fight off diseases. Massage can help to reduce pain, acute or chronic. By improving your bodies circulation, it helps to get your blood flowing to the affected area, therefore aiding in the healing process by increasing the oxygen and nutrients.

Did you know that you can use your health savings account for massage? That means that the money that you used for your massage was tax free! If you are worried that your company will not approve this, explain this to your primary care provider. Mine happily wrote me a “prescription” for massage.

I actually have committed to monthly massages at Massage Envy here in Utah! Through a membership like this, I stay more committed to getting my massage each month. When I walk out of my current appointment, I make my appointment for the next month. Massage Envy has locations all over the US and you can use your membership at any location. Your first hour massage for each month is covered in your membership fee, and each additional service you get is deeply discounted.

I look forward to my next massage each month. I can’t wait to relieve my stress and the tension that my muscles have built up over the month. I do this to maintain where I am at, if you have an injury that needs to be worked you would need to get massages more frequently.
