Do you like massages?
Massage is generally considered part of complementary and integrative medicine. It’s usually offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations. Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension. While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found the massage is helpful for:
- Fibromyalgia
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Soft tissue strains or injuries
- Sports injuries
- Headaches
Even more interesting, massage helps expectant mothers deal with many side effects of pregnancy. Prenatal Massage has indicated in studies that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. The massage therapy addresses different needs through varying techniques, one of which is called Swedish Massage. –Americanpregnancy.org

What a great give-away, wish I lived in your area I sure could go for a massage about now! Having back and neck issues plus having bronchitis and sinus infection for over a week, a massage would help get me back on track! Guess I’ll have to call mine!

I agree, it’s a great giveaway and a good reminder of the benefits of massage. I’ve never had a massage, I keep meaning to book one. But so far I haven’t. Maybe this month.

A nice giveaway for those in the Chicago area. I have utilized a deep tissue massage therapist for the past few years for my back issues (I have mild scoliosis and also have suffered a herniated disc). It’s worked in ways that nothing else has.
