Massage & Health

By: Jaime McNeill, LMT

We all imageneed to take good care of ourselves.

It is so important when we undertake any self-motivated change that we actually take a look at our behavior, and how to effectively influence a positive change in our lives. By making a choice to be healthier, we make the choice to loose or maintain our weight, start an exercise program, and we choose to eliminate the foods that don’t work for us in exchange for the foods that do. It has been said that even positive change is traumatic.

What is the most important thing we can do for ourselves? It’s very simple: replace the behaviors that don’t work for you with the behaviors that do work for you.

When we “treat” ourselves to good, healthy choices, we are reprogramming ourselves. With Massage Therapy, you can make the choice to embrace a healthy change. What's more, when we give ourselves the gift of massage, we experience detoxification, which is often one of the first steps to any successful weight loss plan. In many detoxification programs, our bodies go through several days and sometimes weeks of unpleasant feelings. We feel groggy, drained, head achy, and just plain rotten. Massage can speed up the process of detoxification and give you the added boost you need to stay on your chosen path until the unpleasantness passes.

At Gift of Health Massage, we are committed to increasing your vitality through regular massage therapy. 

Studies have shown that through massage, recipients experience decreased pain, better sleep, improved mood, and increased stamina for sports and other strenuous activities.  We do not want to replace your Primary Care Doctor, your Chiropractor, or any other Health Care Professional you are currently working with.  We wish to join your current plan for your health in the present and in the future.  Taking care of yourself has never been more important. 

Prevent unwanted injuries and correct the imbalances your body has been nagging you to tend to.  You deserve to feel  great! Give yourself the gift of health!
