Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is becoming increasingly popular and I have decided to explain something about massage and some of the benefits for your body.

 

 

 

 

 

I believe you as a client, should enjoy a massage and feel the ‘benefits’ in your body after leaving the table.

Often people have told me they have had a massage, and whilst they have had beautiful, flowing strokes some have complained they haven’t felt like any changes have happened to their bodies.

Conversely, most often another comment with  deep tissue work it is quite painful when experienced. This is not always the case as establishing a trust and a slower gentle style, the therapist can soften and stretch out the tight muscles.

A nurturing and easy touch is the therapist’s most powerful tool  to establish the bond between you both.

Sharon has had many years as a therapist and has helped many people to a better state of health with regular treatments.

Massage is like beginning a multi vitamin course, the more you have the better the response..

Muscles have a cellular memory and each treatment will help to encourage the muscles to respond faster and feel so much better. Also to relax is not as easy as one thinks as we often have not learnt how to relax well.

We live busy lives and often,after we finish working, fall into the lounge chair, enjoy a glass of refreshment and then eat and fall into bed.

Our bodies are tense and not wound down… massage helps to improve sleep patterns also!
Lowering our blood pressure, decreasing the stress levels and it feels wonderful to close off the world for a short hour every 2 – 4 weeks…

Come in and experience 3 – 4 treatments and experience the world of massage and if you have a health fund you only pay the gap as Bodysense has a HICAPS terminal in salon…

Building a Strong Immune System

Have you made your plans and set new goals for the coming year?

Please be sure to make your own health and well-being a high priority!

The steps you take today determine your future.

If you have health fund entilements you may have free money to spend on remedial massage … why let it go to waste!”

“USE IT OR LOSE IT” If you are in a health fund come in and spend your health fund entitlement before it resets on December 31st.

If you haven’t already done so, you can make your life easier and more enjoyable by scheduling your massage sessions in advance.

It’s so nice to have your next massage already planned and on your calendar, a special time set aside just for you.

Did you realize how effective massage can be toward strengthening your immune system?

This issue focuses on how you can help your body defend itself against potential illness.

If you have been wanting to introduce someone to the many benefits of massage, keep in mind that a gift certificate is a great way to get them started. Also, massage gift certificates make ideal presents for nearly any occasion.

This is the season that we are the most susceptible to an illness such as hayfever, the flu or a nagging cold.

What better time to strengthen your immune system?

And what better way than with massage?

First, take a closer look at what an amazing and vital job your immune system does for you.

Your immune system truly has a daunting assignment—to defend and protect your body from an environment laden with threatening forms of bacteria, viruses, etc., as well as dangers like cancer. These various health threats are seeking any weakness in your defenses that will allow them to set up house and raise a large family, at the expense of your health.

Understanding the basic functions of your immune system might help you appreciate what a remarkable job it performs. Virtually every cell in your body has specific molecules on its surface that identifies itself as being part of “you.” This enables your immune system to differentiate between you and foreign organisms and to send its defensive team after any hostile invaders.

When a health threat has been identified, your body produces various substances to combat it. For instance, certain proteins (antibodies) will be deployed to attach themselves to the attackers to mark them for destruction. Various cells are present to devour certain infected cells, kill parasites, destroy cancer cells, and cope with allergens, while other immune responses occur that help to heal or defend the body.

Your immune system consists of an elaborate and complex network of trillions of white blood cells. Concentrations of these cells are found in your lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow—on call to defend you 24 hours a day.

You may be surprised to learn that the largest immunological organ in your body is your intestine, with 70%-80% of all antibody-producing cells located in your digestive system.

A properly functioning immune system produces just enough response to handle the problem, then drops back to alert status. Just as you can have too little response (as from a weakened immune system), it is possible for your immune system to overreact. An overactive system may lead to conditions such as allergies or autoimmune conditions (like arthritis, lupus, insulin-dependent diabetes, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, or multiple sclerosis). These occur when the immune system confuses the body’s own cells with invader cells and attacks its own tissues. So not only do you need a strong immune system, you need one that is well-balanced.

Your immune system is tied to and affected by your emotional state—whether you are elated, angry, fatigued, or stressed. Stress actually decreases natural defenses resulting in less efficient and slower healing, and a greater susceptibility to infection.

So how does massage help your immune system?

“ ‘In one study after another, research is suggesting that massage therapy has a positive impact on immune function,’ said Diane Zeitlin, research associate at the Center for Research in Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Kessler Medical Rehabilitation and Education Corporation, West Orange, N.J.“ ‘An increase in white blood cells and natural killer-cell activity better prepares the body to fight off possible invading cells,’ said Zeitlin. ‘These cellular changes suggest the immune system benefited from the massages, and these findings fall in line with previous research.’ ”

In a study conducted by the Touch Research Institute (TRI) at the University of Miami on women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, the women received regular massage therapy (three times a week for five weeks), with 80 percent showing improved immune function.
“ ‘These are the first studies that show an effect of massage therapy on an immune function test, which can support the use of massage therapy to alleviate stress, relax muscles and now possibly serve as an alternative medical practice,’ said Michael Ruff, Ph.D., research associate professor at Georgetown University Medical School.” 1

So give your immune system some help this season with regular massage sessions!
