January, February, and March can be pretty rough months; the after-Christmas slump, cold weather, pre-spring, less sunshine, and the season where every other person seems to have the sniffles and/or coughing fits. The last thing that you want is to be infected and suffering from a cold or illness that makes you tired, uncomfortable, and less capable of functioning throughout your already hectic life. Of course, you should be mindful of your surroundings and should always wash your hands, drink water, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. But, did you also know that you could help your body fight potential illnesses by getting a chair massage at the office?
According to an expert at the University of Alabama, massage therapy often has the ability to prevent colds, enhance skin tone, and lower blood pressure. Chair massage benefits can be influential in your immediate health and future as well as with your cumulative health. While you can experience looser muscles and better blood flow throughout your body directly after receiving a massage, the treatment can also strengthen your immune system and improve your sense of well-being over the long term.
First of all, stress can significantly harm your immune system and leave you much more prone to infection by germs and illnesses with which you often come in contact. However, by receiving a mobile chair massage and lowering your levels of stress, your immune system can direct the energy that is often taken and expended through a stressed state and can utilize it to wage battle against any potential infections that could be trying to debilitate your health and leave you feeling cruddy and miserable.
Lastly, the better your blood is able to flow through your muscles and throughout your body, the more healthy your body will be and the better you will feel. Feeling energized, relaxed, and overall more equipped to tackle the day can give you a positive disposition and a better perspective in your busy life, and it could be a large determining factor in whether or not you become negatively affected by the innumerable germs that are ready to make an attack on your health.
While the long winter months can often leave many feeling blue and less able to perform to their full extent in the work environment, at home, and in their daily activities, don’t let your body be beaten down by the hard winter months of cold and illness season.
Treat yourself to a chair massage and decrease stress! Your body “kneads” the energy to give your immune system a boost to fight illness, to catalyze blood flow, and to heighten your overall sense of well-being which will make the darker months so much more enjoyable!
