Massage
Massage as well as being lovely, is good for you and helps you deal with stress more easily. It relieves stiffness and tension in muscles and can help you sleep better. People are less likely to take days off sick and more likely to feel like they can handle pressure if they have regular massages. Massage helps to flush adrenaline out of your body, the fight or flight hormone, which builds up if you are suffering from regular stress and can be toxic, causing poor sleep and many health problems. We are social beings and the healing power of touch should also not be underestimated, we are supposed to feel touch and in today’s society that fact is getting harder to achieve.
The Father of Modern Medicine, Hippocrates, believed that regular exercize, a balanced diet and ‘regular rubbing’ contributed to a healthy life, he also ascertained that different people had different responses to life and it’s challenges; some people can cope more easily with stress, for others a regular massage can make the difference between being able to enjoy daily life and finding it overwhelming.
