Fluffy towels, warm organic oil, a comfy space, are some of the little touches I like to add to your massage experience. Here are six more ways massage therapy can help you get through the winter months.
- Boosts your immune system
Massage can help fight colds and flus by increasing lymph flow, which is full of white blood cells. These cells go on to help fight infections around the body.
- Hydrates your skin
Dry air in winter affects your skin. Nourishing oil used in massage helps to hydrate your skin making you feel better on the inside and out.
- Improved circulation
Regular massage can help your circulation by enhancing blood flow and body warmth which in turn increases the flow of oxygen around the body. This can help warm up those cold hands and feet!
- Fights the winter blues
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs mostly during the winter. Getting a massage during acute SAD periods can increase hormones like serotonin and dopamine while decreasing cortisol helping you to feel more relaxed and happy.
- Relieves sore muscles
In cold conditions, the body tenses up in defence and if you're exposed for a long period of time, that muscle tension can remain long after you are back in a warmer environment. Massage helps to relieve that built up tension.
- De stress
Taking time out for a massage can really help boost your well being. It will also help to improve your sleep to give you more energy during the winter months.
