Getting a massage always sounds like a great idea, but life can become busy. If you have been meaning to come in for a massage at Grand Traverse Family Chiropractic, here are five good reasons to come see a massage therapist for a stress-relieving massage. They specialize in many different types of massages and work based on what’s ideal for each patient.
1. Relieve Stress
Like most people, you might notice that you physically tense up when enduring stress. This leaves you with tight muscles that can lead to discomfort, a poor range of motion, and headaches or migraines. A massage can fix this and provides a healthy way to relieve stress.
2. Manage Lower Back Pain
Patients suffer from lower back pain for many reasons, whether from an accident, overuse, or a health condition. Chronic pain in your lower back can greatly affect your quality of life. Regular massage therapy and an adjustment can alleviate the pain and help you focus on strengthening the muscles without experiencing tightness.
3. Relieve A Tension Headache or Migraine
Does your busy life include doing life with a tension headache? A massage can help relieve this pain and help you get back to feeling your best. The suboccipital muscles are located in your neck, under the back of the skull and are often the reason that patients experience headaches. They literally hold your head up, and also take a lot of strain. Getting a massage will greatly reduce the strain, tension and tightness these muscles often experience.
4. Sleep Deeper
Who doesn’t need more sleep? We all know that sleep is important, but it can be challenging if your body simply cannot relax. A massage can help change this as muscles tightness is released and your body relaxes. Patients often share how they experience deeper sleep after getting a massage, which is far more restful compared to a night full of tossing and turning.
5. Reduce Pain from Chronic Illness
Do you suffer from fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis? These chronic illnesses and other conditions often cause pain that can be debilitating. Gentle massage therapy help decrease pain, increase range of motion, increases deep sleep, and other benefits that help patients feel their best, even with a chronic illness.
