5 Reasons to Book an Autumn Massage

1. More time spent sitting

The colder weather keeps us inside, and ultimately leads to more time spent sitting. We’ve all heard the saying “sitting is the new smoking”, and leads to tight quads, hamstrings and glutes. Massage can bring more flexibility to your hips, which make nearly every movement our bodies make easier.

2. Footwear change

Many of us spend the summer months wearing sandals and flip flops, or shift from sneakers to boots in the colder months. While it seems like a small change, the difference in footwear can have a big effect on our feet, legs and low back. Massage can help loosen up tight feet, stiff calves, and add more mobility to the impacts every step we make has on the low back.

3. Seasonal Depression

Many of us experience a dip in mood as the leaves begin to change and the days get shorter. Massage can help by relieving the stress and trauma we hold in our muscles, increasing circulation and lymph flow, and activates the endocrine system to release mood boosting hormones and chemicals.

4. Closer interpersonal quarters

More time spent inside also means closer proximity in our interpersonal relationships. For some of us this means more interpersonal stress dealing with family and loved ones, especially as we are moving into November and December - the most stressful months of the year. Massage can help you stay centered. By combining the relaxation and stress relief of the massage itself with integrative energy work, we can bolster your mental foundation and put in a place to deal with the stressful situations with more clarity and ease.

5. Because it’s always a good time to get a massage!

You don’t need to be in a crisis to book yourself a massage. Massage is used as a treatment as well as holistic health maintenance. Wanting to feel better is a good of reason as any to book yourself a massage.
