Caron Mansfield, LMT – It’s All in the Touch…
Whether you’re regularly active and have a fitness regimen you follow religiously or are just getting started, some recent research indicates that incorporating massage therapy into your exercise plan may be beneficial.
A 2012 study through the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, indicates that massage therapy reduces inflammation of skeletal muscle acutely damaged through exercise.
The study found evidence at the cellular level suggesting massage therapy may affect inflammation in a way similar to anti-inflammatory medications, which is good news for people who like to get out there and stay active but occasionally are hindered by injury or soreness.
Develop a plan to get and stay fit, consider how regular massage therapy can help keep you on track and in the game.

More and more research indicates that massage therapy
is beneficial for a variety of conditions, and helping relieve
stress is one area where massage really shines.
A 2012 study published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice,
for example, shows that massage for nurses during work hours can help to
reduce stress and related symptoms, including headaches, shoulder tension,
insomnia, fatigue, and muscle and joint pain, while another published in
BMJ Supportive and Palliative Care suggests that massage therapy »
can—when used in combination with standard care—help reduce stress,
anxiety, pain and fatigue in patients facing late stage disease.
So, along with exercise and eating right, consider how incorporating regular massage into your health and wellness practices can help you better manage stress,and help you take better care of your heart.
