PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF MASSAGE
Massage can help stretch muscles, increase flexibility, and improve posture so that they can stay in shape and bring their best to the physical aspects of their job. When using sports massage, your massage therapist will focus not only on helping your muscles recover, but also preparing them for strenuous use to avoid aches and stiffness before they happen.
MENTAL BENEFITS OF MASSAGE
It’s no secret that serving in the military, or as a First Responder it can take a heavy mental toll. While most people are aware of the prevalence of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among Military and First Responders a few people are aware just how prevalent mental health conditions can be.
Massage therapy has been repeatedly shown to help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions by decreasing heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels while encouraging the production of key neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. These neurotransmitters are responsible for mood regulation, relaxation, feelings of trust, and overall happiness and stability. Massage therapy can be an extremely helpful tool to reduce or avoid those mental health conditions that are all-too-common among our service members.
MASSAGE FOR MILITARY, AND FIRST RESPONDERS FAMILIES
Military spouses and children also encounter unique stressors alongside their active duty and veteran loved ones. Whether a loved one is deployed and out of reach, or has just made it home and is in the process of transitioning back to domestic life, it’s important for military families to take care of themselves while also caring for and supporting their loved one. Regular massage therapy helps promote physical relaxation, mindfulness, and stress relief. Taking those 60-90 minutes for self care can help military family members bring their best selves to life, making them an even stronger support network for their loved one.
