Massage therapy offers several benefits during the summer months, including reducing swelling and inflammation, relieving muscle tension from increased activity, and decreasing stress. The heat and humidity of summer can exacerbate swelling in joints and limbs, while increased outdoor activity can lead to muscle soreness. Massage can improve circulation, reduce swelling, and promote relaxation, helping you stay comfortable and active throughout the season.
Here are 6 reasons to book a summer massage at Healthworks today!
1. Reduced Swelling and Inflammation: Summer heat and humidity can cause fluid retention, leading to swelling in joints and limbs. Massage therapy can improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce this swelling and discomfort.
2. Muscle Soreness Relief: Increased outdoor activities and workouts, from gardening and hiking, to running or even taking a Zumba class at The Hatch Shell, can all lead to muscle aches and pains. Massage therapy can target these areas, reducing tension and promoting faster recovery.
3. Decreased Stress: Summer can be a busy and potentially stressful time with vacations, social events, and changes in your routine… it’s a lot to juggle. Massage therapy can help lower your stress hormone levels and promote relaxation, improving your overall well-being.
4. Improved Sleep Quality: Summer heat and longer daylight hours can disrupt sleep patterns. Massage therapy can help relax the body and mind, leading to better sleep quality.
5. Immunity Boost: By improving circulation and lymphatic drainage, massage therapy can help the body remove toxins and strengthen the immune system, which is especially important during the active summer months.
6. Enhanced Flexibility and Range of Motion: Massage therapy can help loosen tight muscles and improve joint mobility, allowing you to enjoy your summer activities to the fullest.
