Therapeutic Massage And The Compatible Therapist

By Julie Polson


Therapeutic massage is a must should you feel that you are feeling stressed. The right therapist for your needs is essential in gaining maximum benefit from each and every treatment. Developing a feeling of understanding between you and your therapist is essential as this provides you with a platform to give your body that much needed rest on a weekly basis.

The human being is essentially made up of body, mind and that indistinguishable part of ourselves that makes up our spirituality. By regarding each of these areas of our lives and nurturing them accordingly, our lives are enhanced and the enjoyment of it can be a whole lot more rewarding. Should one of these areas of our beings go out of sync, this in effect throws us into emotional areas we cannot quite explain and come to terms with.

It all begins with the body and its stress levels. A stressed body is constantly in a state of tension and cannot absorb stresses made on it as well as a body can that is relaxed. On a day to day basis, modern life impacts our physical well being in more ways than we would want to know.

Stress can be likened to an elastic band that winds up and winds down during every minute of the day. The minute stress hits us in whatever form, a chain reaction takes place within the body in order to cope with it. These include increased heart rate, blood pressure and rising or diminishing sugar levels. By eliminating stress or by reducing it to a point where our bodies have the break they need, the body naturally replenishes itself with positive energy so that we can continue to function as optimally as possible.

Bad eating habits and lack of exercise coupled with an action packed work load on a daily basis is a disaster waiting to happen. By finding a suitable therapist to relieve this excess tension and to wind down the elastic band, we provide a time of respite of which our bodies essentially need to repair themselves.

Emotional tension and harboring feelings of ill will or having regrets about past circumstances in life all act on our levels of stress. For instance, should something be worrying you excessively and you constantly think about it, this increases your levels of anxiety. Finding a suitable therapist whereby you can express these feelings relieves you of the tension and feeling that you are alone with the problem.

The brain is a muscle in all sense of the word and like any muscle can be worked so hard until it needs to relax and unwind. By unlocking problems of the past it frees up space in our brains and leaves us feeling relieved and rejuvenated at the same time.

Therapeutic massage is about relieving you of the stresses you carry around with you. People who include this form of treatment as a daily or weekly regimen swear by it and the benefits it has provided them in their own lives. It is an advisable form of treatment to explore and to investigate should you find that your stress levels have become unmanageable.
