Broad self-care approach for pain relief

While getting a massage alone can provide benefits for relaxation and stress reduction, dealing with chronic pain or areas of tension that require more focus than mere relaxation necessitates a broader approach.

Self-care should be a routine that combines various modalities to achieve well-rounded results. When muscle strengthening is combined with massage therapy, it creates lasting outcomes.

Massage therapy and exercise boost wellbeing

Movement plays a crucial role in achieving this for two primary reasons:

Firstly, massage therapy is a form of passive relief that helps increase blood flow, thus returning oxygen and iron to the muscles through the bloodstream. It reduces stress, relieves tension, increases flexibility, and tones the muscles between workout routines. By doing so, it allows the muscles a cooling-down period to integrate the workout’s benefits.

Secondly, lifting, working out, walking, stretching, and other forms of exercise are a type of active relief that increases blood flow to the muscles, returning oxygen and iron through the bloodstream to strengthen them and relieve tension.

Consistent movement aids body maintenance

With consistency, the combination of passive and active modalities can help the body maintain its movement because all forms of movement are important.

The truth is, the mind, body, and soul go through their ebb and flow, and that is perfectly fine because we are human. We do not have to be perfect, but what counts is that we strive to do our best.

Even taking baby steps to try something new can make a difference in how you feel over time. Our body is our primary vehicle, and just like cars, we need bodywork too.
