Keep away the Winter Blues.
Massage helps boost serotonin levels in the body. The shorter days, cold weather and limited Vitamin D can leave you feeling low. Massage can relieve stress and assist with anxiety and depression. Have you ever felt increased discomfort during the winter months? Maybe it’s achy joints or tight feeling muscles, or perhaps your arthritis seems to flare up more when it’s cold.
Winter can bring with it many aches and pains. This is often because cold temperature changes our blood flow, constricts blood vessels, and dries out the skin. Not to mention, we are more prone to illnesses in winter, which can leave the body feeling run-down.
If you have been feeling under the weather and need a mid-winter boost, then booking a massage will give you the health and vitality you need to make it through.
Boosts the immune system
Winter makes us more prone to developing the cold and flu, since our immune systems are weaker during this time. The good news is – massage can boost your immune system and help your body fight off infections.
Massage stimulates the lymph nodes, which allows white blood cells to defend against infections and disease. Because of this, getting regular massages during winter makes you less likely to develop a cold or have to rely on medications to fend off one.
Reduces dry skin irritation
Do you experience drier skin during winter? It’s common for skin to become dehydrated due to colder temperatures, lower humidity, and indoor heating.
