Why massage?

We are well aware that too often, you don’t take time to take care of yourself because well, you’re just too busy. Too busy at work, too busy with family – the list goes on and on. But here at DASHA®, we’re in the wellness business, and we’re big advocates of preventative medicine.

Massage can be a key component to your wellness.  There are some negative stereotypes of massage out there, particularly for those who are “against” it or have never tried it – it’s too indulgent, it’s not worth spending any money on, or it’s only for women.  Wrong, wrong and wrong! Massage is one of the biggest gifts you can give to your body and overall wellness. Dr. Pollack often works in tandem with the massage therapy team to treat his chiropractic patients.

There are many different types of massage: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Trigger Point – it all involves pressing, rubbing and manipulating the skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments, and your massage therapist is trained to listen to you and your body and the level of pressure you can tolerate.  Yes, massage usually falls under the category of alternative medicine, but it is an undeniable and formidable companion to any regular treatment as well as a tool of preventative medicine.

So what does massage do and what are its benefits? Massage can help with stress, anxiety, digestion issues, headaches, fibromyalgia, insomnia, soft tissue strains or injuries, joint pain, PMS, boost immunity, and so much more. It alleviates pain and also helps your body release toxins, increasing blood flow to all parts of your body and lifting your mood.

So what are you waiting for? Isn’t it time you turn a new leaf in your approach to wellness? Invest a little more time in you, and you’ll have so much more to give to everyone and everything around you.
