Reduce Stress with a Spring Massage
MASSAGE THERAPY SHOWN TO BOOST IMMUNE SYSTEM FUNCTION
Scottsdale, Ariz. (April 22,
2010) - Spring is a time of renewal, and the perfect
season to focus on reducing stress and managing pain. Massage
therapy has been shown to relax muscles and restore balance to the
body and being - making it an important antidote to the challenging
times we're living in today. Massage Envy makes monthly
therapeutic massage an easy, affordable and convenient part of a
wellness program.
"Research shows massage therapy actually boosts the body's
immune system, which extended periods of stress can compromise,"
said CG Funk, vice president of industry relations and product
development at Massage Envy. "Regular massage helps increase the
body's cytotoxic capacity -- the activity level of 'natural killer'
cells, which improves immune functioning."
Massage therapy is one of the most effective methods for
achieving stress relief. What's more, massage therapy helps
encourage circulation and drainage in the lymph system, helping it
to work more efficiently to remove waste and toxins from the body.
The body's lymphatic system helps destroy waste products and remove
them from the body via a network of ducts and vessels. Massage also
has other stress-relieving benefits, including lowering the heart
rate and blood pressure and increasing endorphins.
With a Massage Envy membership, monthly dues include one 1-hour
massage session, and as a member you'll receive unlimited
additional 1-hour massage sessions at the low membership rate. With
regular massages at Massage Envy, this season can be one with
reduced pain and stress.
