Do You Get The Wintertime "Blues”?

Less sunlight in the winter and more time indoors can trigger what is known as “Seasonal Affective Disorder” in many people. SAD can prove to be a severe form of depression and reduce the quality of life for those with the disorder.

A recent article from the American Massage Therapy Association catalogs several proven ways in which massage therapy can counteract physiological mood factors that often accompany SAD. According to the AMTA, massage can:

Reduce anxiety and depression with a course of care providing benefits similar in magnitude to those of psychotherapy.
Increase neurotransmitters associated with lowering anxiety and decrease hormones associated with increasing anxiety.
Significantly decrease heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure.

And if winter has you down, why not schedule a massage?

How Massage Therapy Can Keep You Warm

With the winter months here, many of us feel the physical and mental toll that winter can bring. The colder weather can affect your body in many ways, from stiff muscles to dry skin. Fortunately, massage therapy is an excellent way to combat these winter challenges and keep yourself feeling warm, relaxed, and rejuvenated all season long.

Here’s how massage therapy can help you stay comfortable and balanced during the winter months:

1. Relieve Muscle Tension from Cold Weather
The cold weather can make our muscles contract and tighten, leading to discomfort and stiffness. Whether layering up in warm clothes or shoveling snow, your muscles can quickly become fatigued. Regular massage therapy helps to ease tension, increase circulation, and relieve tightness. A soothing massage will help your body feel relaxed and more comfortable, even in the colder months.

2. Boost Circulation to Keep You Warm
In the winter, the body tends to focus on keeping its core temperature stable, which can sometimes leave your extremities feeling cold. Massage therapy helps stimulate circulation by improving blood flow, which warms you up and helps maintain energy levels. By increasing circulation, a massage can help your body stay warm and avoid the sluggish, cold sensations that often come with the winter chill.

How Massage Therapy Can Improve Heart Health

In our fast-paced world, where stress and sedentary lifestyles often affect our health, prioritizing cardiovascular wellness is more important than ever. While traditional methods like exercise and diet play crucial roles, another powerful ally in maintaining heart health is often overlooked: massage therapy.

Massage therapy is renowned for promoting relaxation and alleviating muscle tension, but its benefits extend far beyond mere relaxation. Recent studies and ongoing research uncover compelling evidence of how massage can positively impact cardiovascular health, making it a valuable addition to a holistic approach to well-being.

One of the primary ways massage benefits cardiovascular health is through stress reduction. Chronic stress contributes significantly to cardiovascular problems by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and the likelihood of inflammation in the circulatory system. Massage, with its ability to promote relaxation and reduce stress hormones like cortisol, helps counteract these adverse effects. By calming the nervous system, massage supports optimal heart function and lowers the risk of heart disease over time.

The Benefits Of Massage Therapy During Winter

Maintain Muscle Over Winter

It’s important to remain active during these cold months even though we are stuck inside more often. You can stay fit and active by doing indoor workouts and getting a massage regularly. It will help to stretch your muscles and keep your joints working properly, too.

Fight Dry Winter Skin

Dry, cold air can do a number on our skin because it draws the moisture out of it. Your skin can be dehydrated and flaky during the winter. Massage can help keep your skin moisturized because it assists in improving skin elasticity by inciting collagen production.
Because massage helps the skin to stay flexible and elastic, it can help keep it supple during the driest time of the year.

How Does Massage Help Relieve Stress?

When you feel stress, your body reacts. Muscles tighten, and your heart may beat faster. This can lead to pain and discomfort.

This means you can feel more relaxed and at ease after a massage.

The Physical Benefits Of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy does wonders for your body. Here are some ways it can help:

Reduces muscle tension: Massage helps to relax tight muscles. This can relieve pain and improve your overall comfort.

Ready to unwind, rejuvenate and relax? Here are three reasons you need to get massage therapy this fall.

Gets You Ready To Take On The Fall And Winter Seasons
As stated, massage will help you relax. And that is ever-so-important as we prepare to enter the never-ending holiday season. Both fall and winter are chock full of holidays, shorter amounts of sunlight, and longer work days. Go to a massage therapy appointment before the fall season begins and prepare for these cooler months.

Heals, Aches, And Pains
Remember all those activities you got into this summer? Well, even if you’ve seemed to forget, your body hasn’t. It’s still feeling the repercussions of being more active than usual. Utilize the power of massage to relieve pain, soothe muscles, and get your body back in tip-top shape.

Boosts Performance And Increases Blood Flow
As it says, massage boosts performance and increases blood flow—which is beyond helpful to ensure your body and mind function at 100 percent. Improving your circulation will increase your body’s ability to provide oxygen to your muscles, and massage boosts your performance by leaving you more mobile and flexible than you were before you started treatment. The combination of increased circulation with improved flexibility and range of motion allows your body to run like the well-oiled machine it should be.

Massage therapy is excellent for many reasons and for any season!

Go Deep To Relieve Stress

Deep tissue: The best massage to relieve stress and muscle tension
Deep tissue massage can loosen painful “knots” and realign more profound layers of muscle through firm pressure and slow strokes. Your therapist will not only work on the usual muscles but on the connective tissue as well.

This is not an ordinary massage. It’s supposed to dig deep within the muscle to release trigger points and improve your mobility. You won’t be comfortable the entire time, but it will not be painful—feel free to communicate with your therapist to find the perfect balance between the “ouch pain” and “it feels good” pain.

We always take all the necessary hygienic precautions while massaging to protect you and our staff. We thoroughly sanitize each room before and after each client session.

REASONS WHY MASSAGE IS THE BEST HOLIDAY GIFT EVER

A massage gift certificate tucked into a holiday card may seem unassuming, but the effects of this present will be powerful.
People turn to massage for stress relief, pain alleviation, and relaxation, and massage is appropriate for just about anyone from healthy adults to seniors and pregnant women to athletes. Massage therapy is also safe and beneficial for people living with conditions including cancer, fibromyalgia, and arthritis.

This is why treating the people on your gift list to massage makes sense this holiday season. Regular massage clients will know what to look forward to, and for someone who has never had a massage, a gift certificate can make his or her first session more accessible.

Here are four reasons why massage should be at the top of your holiday gift list, along with suggestions for massage and bodywork specialties to present to friends, colleagues and family:

1. The Gift of Stress Relief
The holidays can be filled with family, friends, fun, food and freneticism. Gift-buying, overeating, and travel can leave any merrymaker feeling tired and stressed. Massage makes the best holiday gift because it calms the nervous system and provides an oasis of respite from the holiday frenzy.

2. The Gift of Pain Removal

From hanging Christmas lights to digging the Chanukkah candles out of the basement, the holidays’ decorating activities can create strain, sprain, and pain. Massage makes the best holiday gift because it addresses pain and stiffness by increasing circulation, improving flexibility, and releasing crinkles and tight spots from muscles.

3. The Gift of Raised Spirits
The holidays aren’t jolly all the time; family conflict, feelings of grief, and other mood stressors can arise. Massage makes the best gift because it can boost mood. The release of the feel-good hormone, oxytocin, is increased during a massage, as is the release of serotonin and dopamine.

Too Busy During The Holidays?

If you’re saying that you will be too busy to take an hour away from your schedule to get a massage, there are plenty of reasons why you should squeeze it in. Take a look:

The holidays are the most stressful months of the year.
All adults would be under some form of stress during the holiday season. If you started late with your holiday gift-giving list, you might be scrambling for ideas and items to give as presents to your loved ones. If you did not save enough, you might be anxiously looking out for cheap presents that will still be appreciated by the recipient.

Even your parents or your in-laws being in town could cause you stress. With all the things that you are dealing with during the holiday season, there’s no better way to take even just an hour away from it all which is exactly what you will get by booking a massage.

Under the ministrations of a Lenox Hill professional massage therapist, the tension in your body will melt away and you can go back to your holiday errands feeling refreshed and ready to take on new challenges.

The end of the year is also when it is coldest.
Muscles do get tight once the temperature drops. Using soothing oils, lotions, powders, aromatherapy, or some other special treatment, your skin and muscles will get warmed up with a Lenox Hill professional massage.

A massage can help with the treatment that you are getting for any condition that you might have.
If you’re suffering from a chronic medical condition or even just backaches or headaches, a massage can help alleviate whatever form of pain you are experiencing.

Make Massage Part Of Your Normal Healthcare Routine

Massage therapy can also have many benefits to your emotional and mental health. Massage therapy can assist in decreasing symptoms of anxiety and depression. A 60-minute massage can decrease cortisol levels by an average of 30%. As a result, serotonin levels increase.

This can boost your body’s ability to fight off depression, anxiety, and stress. Also, the relief from the pain you may experience following a massage will assist in lowering stress and anxiety.

Massage can also refocus energy and increase awareness of the mind-body connection. Many people have experienced emotional releases from past trauma (physical or emotional) during or following a massage session. Massage can provide a safe, nurturing touch some people need, and this can be healing in and of itself.

The Effects Of Massage On Nerves & Soft Tissues

Depending on the type of massage, a therapist may work on your muscles, joints, nerves, and/or layers of connective tissue deep below your skin. A few examples of massage techniques include deep tissue massage, trigger-point therapy, and neuromuscular therapy.

A massage can cause the following changes to occur in your body, easing the sciatica pain:

Loosen and relax muscles. When your trunk, core, and lower back muscles are tight, they can apply pressure on the sciatic nerve root(s) in your lower back. Tight muscles may also get knotted up into small painful nodules, causing trigger point pain. Massage therapy can effectively stretch, loosen, and elongate these muscles, improving pain and function in your lower back and legs.

Facilitate the circulation of healing nutrients. Hands-on soft tissue manipulation from massage stimulates the blood vessels in your skin and deeper tissues. There is enhanced circulation of blood, oxygen, and other nutrients to the sore areas, promoting healing.

Massage stimulates specific pressure receptors in your brain, which are special nerve fibers. Stimulation of these pressure receptors helps reduce pain by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good hormone.

Reduce stress. Stimulation of the pressure receptors also helps reduce the levels of cortisol in your body the hormone that causes stress. Reduced stress helps provide a feeling of relaxation and relief, with a lesser perception of pain.

How Massage Therapy Is Applied for Chronic Neck Pain

There are numerous types of massage, with variations in techniques, strokes, and pressure applied by the hands and other methods. Even in cases where only the neck is symptomatic, the massage is typically used to the neck, shoulders, and back because these regions are all connected.

Two of the more common types of massage to address neck pain include:

Swedish massage is the most common type in Western culture. It mainly focuses on long, steady strokes, typically performed in the direction of blood flow to the heart. Kneading and friction motions may also be included. One of the main goals of Swedish massage is to promote relaxation throughout the entire body.

Deep tissue massage, also known as connective tissue massage, typically uses deeper strokes and friction to work on deeper layers of the muscles and connective tissues. Depending on the therapist’s techniques and philosophies, deep tissue massage can have a wide variety of definitions. Compared to Swedish massage, deep tissue massage commonly focuses more on an area of chronic pain.

We always take all the necessary hygienic precautions while massaging to protect you and our staff. We thoroughly sanitize each room before and after each client session.
