This is the perfect time of year to increase the frequency of your massage treatments. Why?
Because massage is a natural and safe immunity booster.

Here's how massage boosts immunity:

White Blood Cell Enhancement:
By increasing the production and effectiveness of white blood cells, massage therapy ensures your body has a better chance of fighting off infections before they take hold.

Stress Reduction:
Chronic stress can wreak havoc on the immune system. Massage therapy’s ability to reduce stress hormones creates a more favorable environment for immune system function.

Detoxification:
Improving lymphatic circulation helps in efficiently removing toxins from the body, which might otherwise weaken immune function.

Improved Circulation:
Enhanced overall circulation ensures that immune cells are distributed throughout the body effectively, ready to combat any pathogens that breach our defenses.

Relaxation and Sleep Quality:
Good quality sleep is paramount for a healthy immune system. Massage therapy aids in relaxation, thereby promoting restorative sleep.

Five ways massage can improve your immune system:

*Massage is known for promoting increased circulation and lymphatic flow, which helps move healthy nutrients throughout your body and to filter metabolic waste.

*Studies show that massage can increase the level of lymphocytes, which are the cells that help the immune system fight off harmful substances in the body.

*Stress has been shown to be a significant immunosuppressor. Massage is one of the best ways to reduce stress by reducing the level of cortisol, a stress hormone.

*According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, pain has measurable negative effects on immunity. Massage has an enormous impact on decreasing pain, which will make it easier for your body to fight off an illness.

*Massage is great for mental health. Your mind is a direct link to your body and a healthy mind promotes a healthy body.

**A Heartfelt Update from Your Registered Massage Therapist** 🌟

Dear valued patients,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share some recent developments regarding my health and how they may have affected your appointments.

Just before I embarked on a much-anticipated two-week vacation, I unfortunately injured my wrist, resulting in a sprain, strain, and the dislocation of two carpals. Thankfully, the timing of my vacation allowed for some recovery, enabling me to return with minimal discomfort. However, shortly after my return to work, I experienced an unexpected bout of vertigo that caused me to miss an additional four days.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or delays this may have caused in your treatment plans. Your understanding during this time means so much to me, and I genuinely appreciate your patience.

✨️✨️Now the good news ✨️✨️I’m thrilled to announce that I will be back in the office tomorrow, thanks in large part to the wonderful team at the Atlantic Balance and Dizziness Clinic. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with all of you and continuing our journey toward optimal health together.

Thank you once again for your support, and I can't wait to see you soon!

Warm regards,
Rae-Leigh 💕
