January, February, and March can be difficult months; the post-holiday slump, cold weather, less sunshine, and it’s the season where every other person seems to be coughing and/or sneezing. The last thing that you want is to catch a cold or other illness that makes you tired, uncomfortable, and less capable of functioning throughout your already hectic life. Of course, you should be mindful of your surroundings and should always wash your hands, drink plenty of water, and do your best to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But did you also know that you can also help your body fight potential illness by getting a chair massage at the office?
According to an expert at the University of Alabama, massage therapy can help prevent colds, as well as enhance skin tone, and lower blood pressure. Chair massage benefits can be benefit your immediate health as well as contribute to long term health and wellness. Your body benefits from relaxed muscles and improved blood flow directly after receiving a massage, but the treatment can also strengthen your immune system and improve your overall mood and sense of well-being long-term.
Stress can significantly harm your immune system and leave you more prone to infection. By receiving a mobile chair massage which subsequently lowers your stress levels, your immune system can better direct it’s energy to fight against potential infections trying to debilitate your health that leave you feeling cruddy and miserable. Stress resilience can improve your mood, disposition, and perspective, which all help to improve your body’s ability to fight the many germs circulating this time of year.
Additionally, massage helps to improve blood flow through your muscles and throughout your body, contributing to overall health. Increased blood flow helps immune cells to circulate into your bloodstream, enhancing their ability to reduce inflammation and fight infections.
While these long winter months can leave us feeling down and less productive both at work and at home in our daily activities, we can help increase our body’s resilience to the hard winter months of cold and illness season. Treat yourself to a chair massage and decrease stress, and give your immune system an extra boost to fight illness, improve blood flow, and to enhance your overall sense of well-being.
