Three Things Massage Can Help You With Right Now

We know massage will make us move better and feel happier, but not everyone can make time for regular appointments. Luckily massage is great preventive care and it can have some instantly-gratifying results. Check out these three things massage can help you with right now.

Headaches

Tension/stress headaches are the most common type of headache among adults.

Pain or pressure in your forehead or on the top or sides of your head? Could be a tension headache. It's especially likely if you've been hunched over a desk or some knitting, spent time in a car, or if you're still shivering and huddling to keep warm as winter kicks in.

Massage can help get rid of that headache and regular massage may well keep it from coming back.

Low Back Pain

A major research study was published in 2011 showing that massage therapy was better than drugs and usual care for general lower back pain. Better than drugs. I just had to say that twice.

Just about everyone will experience low back pain at some point in their life. If it happens to you, don't suffer. Schedule a massage and get back into action.

Irritability

Have you ever been so cranky you got on your own nerves? Yeah, me too. It isn't fun. When you feel yourself biting everyone's heads off when they ask you a question, it might be time for some self-care.

Massage is great for stress relief. You get to shut off all the things that buzz and chime and aggravate you to the point of eye twitches. Music, silence, warmth, massage. All the cranky disappears.

This is dual purpose. You'll feel better and all the people around you wll be happier that you're back to your sunny self.

Got a headache, low back pain, or a case of the grumpies? Get a massage scheduled and I'll handle that fast.
