Benefits of Massage

Thought I would share a great article I found on the benefits of massage.  Everyone knows how great a massage makes you feel... but, did you know how great a massage is for your entire wellbeing?

As you lie on the table under crisp, fresh sheets, hushed music draws you into the moment. The smell of sage fills the air and you hear the gentle sound of massage oil being warmed in your therapist's hands. The pains of age, the throbbing from your overstressed muscles, the sheer need to be touched -- all cry out for therapeutic hands to start their work. Once the session gets underway, the problems of the world fade into an oblivious 60 minutes of relief and all you can comprehend right now is not wanting it to end.

But what if that hour of massage did more for you than just take the pressures of the day away? What if that gentle, Swedish massage helped you combat cancer? What if bodywork helped you recover from a strained hamstring in half the time? What if your sleep, digestion and mood all improved with massage and bodywork? What if these weren't just "what ifs"?

Evidence is showing that the more massage you can allow yourself, the better you'll feel. Here's why.  Please click here to download the article.

Being Fit While You Sit!

We found a great article with suggestions for proper posture while working on your computer.  Today, most of us spend time (and usually quite a bit of time) sitting in front of our computers - daily.  We start out sitting properly, then our bodies start adapt to the stresses we're creating.  Click here to read more about how to combat the conditions that result from a little too much "sitting!"
