Massage as a strategy for managing and coping with Stress
|
Research has found that stress affects every part of your body – when you carry too much tension, it seems natural that it can lead to muscle stiffness and pain. But what you might not realize is that, according to the Mayo clinic, it’s also linked to headaches, fatigue, stomach problems, and difficulty sleeping. When you enjoy a relaxing massage session at Cascadia Center for Massage, you’ll be doing your stressed-out body a favor. And with regular massage you are giving your body and mind the care it needs to be able to cope better when things get stressful.

Think about it – during times of high stress, do you ever find yourself feeling anxious or depressed? Do you have trouble relaxing and getting the rest you need? Is it hard to focus or get things done? Maybe you feel overwhelmed, or just unusually irritable. Whatever effect stress has on your mood, a massage is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable ways to let your daily stress simply disappear. And with regular massage you do your body the favor of managing daily stressors so that tension doesn't have a chance to build to the point of pain or a headache.

Will regular massage really make a difference for me?
Daily stress makes it hard for people to control their behavior. The Mayo Clinic has linked stress to overeating, drug and alcohol abuse, tobacco use and social withdrawal – it’s even a major reason people tend to slack on their exercise plan. Keeping your stress in check is one of the best ways to stay on track to meet your goals. Just like your car needs regular maintenance to run properly, your body also needs regular care and research has shown that massage therapy is an effective tool to reduce tension, improve sleep and calm the nervous system.
Testimonials
Becki MI have had the pleasure of getting massage from two of the therapists at Cascadia and I have am so pleased with the service I have had from both therapists. Cascadia is a warm, calm and inviting atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. I was able to discuss the issues I was dealing with and have those addressed but also learned what I could be doing to help those issues. Cascadia's therapists are highly trained and explained how muscles in my body interacted. I confidently recommend Cascadia!

Shannon F.I have been going to Cascadia Center for Massage for a number of years now. The therapists that work there are incredibly skilled, pleasant, and obviously passionate about helping others. Cascadia Center for Massage is a big part of my "team" that keeps me moving and feeling my best. I do not hesitate to recommend them to others. They have always done a wonderful job for me, and I know they will for you as well.

Will S.My husband and I received gift certificates from my sister for this Center. It took us a long to time to redeem the coupons because we had never had a professional massage and we were a bit hesitant. But, from the time we made the appointments and showed up at the center we found the staff to be very caring, very professional and we both felt very comfortable. We would go again and can see why people seek a professional service such as Cascadia Center for Massage.
