THE MAGIC TOUCH

Like most women today, you probably spend countless hours working, on your feet, running around, at the computer all-day, and on the phone! Multi-tasking! Work today is

often long hours, nerve-wracking, stressful and physically exhausting. Afterwards at home it’s more of the same, tons of things to do to keep the home running smoothly.

Getting a quick dinner to go, while running errands, homework, or yet another meeting. Before bed, on the verge of collapse we must still lay out clothes and the agenda for tomorrow, and get a bath. But, your body aches from head to toe. Pain in the neck and shoulders, all the way down to your swollen ankles, and throbbing feet - needing relief, not to mention the headache!

The ultimate relaxation, a massage, can soothe both body and mind. A good massage is even great medicine, and is a far more potent therapy than most people realize.        I believe that every person, healthy or otherwise, should receive a massage at least once a month. The benefits can be so wonderful.

The "touch factor" of massage is remarkably healing on its own. There is magic in the human touch, which cannot truly be measured by scientific instruments, however researchers know quite well the powerful calming effects of touch.

Beyond relaxing the mind, soothing frazzled nerves and correcting a bad attitude, massage can be most healing to the body beautiful. Because overworked muscles produce a waste by-product, lactic acid which causes soreness, stiffness and even muscle spasms, massage increases blood flow, improves circulation, bringing fresh oxygen to the body’s tissues, eliminating the lactic acid. Eliminating pain, and helps healing after injury.

Also, massage helps to move lymph fluid, blood and oxygen to the various organs and tissues in ways that normally don't happen in most of our bodies. Especially true for persons who are sedentary: for them massage could be critical for maintaining a measure of good health.

Massage can reduce blood pressure, boost the immune system, and make us feel loved, which is extremely important in the overall healing process.

Other Benefits of Massage include:

? Stimulating the lymph system, the body’s natural defense, against toxic invaders. Especially important for breast cancer patients, massage has been shown to increase the cells that fight cancer.

? Increasing joint flexibility.

? Reducing recovery time from strenuous workouts and eliminating subsequent pain in the athlete at any level.

? Releases endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller.  In many locations massage is being incorporated into treatment plans for chronic illness, injury and recovery from surgery to control and relieve pain.

? Reduces adhesions, swelling and scar tissue after surgery.

? Improves range of motion and decreases discomfort in patients with back pain.

? Relieves migraine headaches.

? Improves muscle health and strength, allowing the stretching of shrunken muscles and increases range of motion.

Please note: In some conditions massage may be contraindicated, so be sure to ask your physician:

? Infectious diseases

? Some skin conditions

? Phlebitis

? Some cardiac problems

? Certain cancers

A good massage regularly can have a wonderfully healing effect on physical health and the quality of one’s life.

The human touch is powerful medicine, so find yourself a good massage therapist, or make arrangements with a friend or loved one to provide this magic, healing, health giving, therapy for each other, on a regular basis, at lease once a month.

And, on your next day at work, you’ll start the day feeling brand new, inside and out, and surprisingly, more alert and productive. Medicine that’s good for you.
