The way you feel is more important than the number of candles on
your birthday cake. But inevitably we all get older and experience the
effects of aging on our minds and bodies.
Age may be just a number, as the saying goes. But certain ages are
significant benchmarks for many.
Whether your 40th, 50th or 60th birthday is your turning point, incorporating
massage into your regular lifestyle can help you age wisely and gracefully.
Revitalize
Aging Skin
One of the most common concerns about aging is keeping skin looking healthy and
wrinkle-free, especially in the face and neck areas. While massage can’t
actually get rid of wrinkles, it can help people feel younger and improve their
outlook on themselves by relaxing face muscles and revitalizing the health of
the skin.
Massaging the face relaxes muscles underneath the skin and helps keep the skin
more flexible. Massage also can positively affect the skin’s hydration levels
by transforming dry, rough skin into a smoother and softer texture.
Alleviate
Arthritic Pain
Arthritis causes inflammation in
the body’s joint capsules, causing varying degrees of pain ranging from
moderate to severe. Massage can’t cure arthritis, but it can improve blood
movement and circulation throughout the body, which in turn helps to alleviate
the crippling pain that arthritis can cause.
Lower
Stress-Related High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is common among adults of all ages and there are a lot of
causes associated with this condition. In today’s fast paced life, a poor diet
and lack of exercise are the two most common causes and ones which massage
can’t really help. However, if you’re a corporate executive who juggles large
amounts of daily stress that results in high blood pressure, then massage can
be an effective solution for reducing the impacts of this of condition.
You’re
Never Too Old for Massage
No matter your age, it’s never too late to start getting massages to combat the
common conditions associated with aging and enjoy the benefits of a therapeutic
experience. You can reduce stress, feel more relaxed and experience the
positive impacts of massage on your health and wellness at any age.
