With more and more people burning the candle at both ends, stress levels are going up and up as leisure time goes down. Time for a mobile massage Miami!
Stress and Unrelieved Muscle Tension
Stress is a national epidemic it seems. Working longer hours, trying to cram everything else in your life into little bites of time, while sacrificing sleep and exercise is a disaster in the making. The longer you persist in going down this road as fast as you can, the worse it gets. Stress and the “fight or flight” reaction can cause the muscles to remain in the alert state of tensed for action.
Another reaction to stress that contributes to the situation is allowing exercise to go by the wayside. As a result, the likelihood of muscle strain from tension becomes more and more likely. Your muscles are designed for a tense and relax action. One muscle or group of muscles tenses while others release, when walking for example. Your muscles can easily go on tensing and relaxing this way without harm indefinitely. However, if your muscles, due to stress, remain flexed or tensed with no corresponding relaxation it can lead to muscle spasms and pain.
Unrelieved muscle tension leads to muscles that are weak and, when muscles in this condition are called upon to perform some type of action that it is no longer able to perform, it results in painful cramps in the large muscles. Massage can be instrumental in relaxing tight muscles and alleviating pain.
Beyond Relaxation
Massage therapy is becoming more mainstream and more widely available outside of luxury spas and health clubs. Many corporations have instituted massage therapy sessions to relieve employee stress level, which in turn increases production and decreases sick leave, so it’s a win-win situation.
Massage consists of manipulating muscles and tendons by rubbing with the hands and fingers. Some massage therapies also include use of the elbows and feet. Swedish massage is very gentle with kneading, use of long strokes, and circular motions. Deep massage is made to reach deeper inside the muscles and connective tissues for greater relief in the larger muscles. This type of massage is very good for relaxing chronically tight muscles.
Massage as a medical treatment is generally considered as alternative medicine. Studies show that massage therapy can be a vital part of a treatment plan for many conditions including but not limited to anxiety, fibromyalgia, headaches, insomnia, nerve pain, and sports injuries. Massage therapy also soothes through gentle touch. Touch is a basic human need. Studies have even shown that in babies, the absence of physical touch with cause failure to thrive.
Benefits
I bet you did not know that a desk job can be dangerous. In fact, too much sitting can cause what is known as “postural stress,” causing pain and tightness in the shoulders and neck. Much of this postural stress also manifests as pain in the legs and lower back. Massage can help alleviate sore muscles by increasing circulation which relieves pain.
If you suffer from anxiety or depression, massage therapy can greatly impact how you feel. One study reveals much more relaxation and happiness after a massage in patients suffering from depression or anxiety. Massage therapy improves sleep, even in those going through chemo or radiation for cancer treatment. It also has an effect on babies. Parents can easily massage a cranky baby right to sleep.
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine reported that patients undergoing massage therapy enjoyed a boost in white blood cells, which help to prevent disease. If you suffer from chronic headaches, try a massage to ease the pain. Studies show that a single session of massage therapy resulted in less headache pain.
Massage can even be a beauty aid. Since massage increase circulation, including in the face, a short session in the bathroom mirror gives your skin a healthy glow and helps plump skin up to decrease the appearance of wrinkles.
