Benefits of Massage Therapy in Colder Weather
With the fall weather approaching, learn more about the benefits of massage therapy during the colder months.
Improved Circulation
Colder temperatures can cause poor blood circulation and higher blood pressure due to blood vessel constriction. This can result in seasonal aches and pains.
Massage can help increase blood flow, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the cells allowing the body to feel warmer.
Immunity Boost
Massage techniques increase the flow of lymphatic fluid which carries white blood cells (responsible for fighting infections and bacteria) to the areas where they are needed most. This gives the immune system a boost during cold and flu season.
Released Tension in Muscles and Joints
Many of us, when exposed to cold weather, tend to contract our muscles especially in the neck and shoulder area, causing stiffness, tension, and muscle aches.
Massage therapy will help release this tension in muscles and joints, promoting an overall feeling of well-being.
Mood Boost
Cold and grey weather can heighten seasonal affective disorder, cause lack of motivation and decreased energy. It has been proven that massage therapy can provide a powerful mood boost, by decreasing cortisol levels and producing endorphins and serotonin.
