Did you know massage therapy is a holistic tool used to improve physical and mental health? That’s what we’re all about here at The Kingdom. There are various types of massages we offer that you can choose from (Swedish, deep tissue, lymphatic, sports, etc.) depending on your lifestyle and needs. If you’ve experienced a glorious massage before, then you’re familiar with the incredible benefits it brings. If you haven’t experienced one and are curious about trying one for the first time, here’s a list of why you should start incorporating massages into your monthly self-care routine:

Reduced Anxiety and Stress

If you suffer from anxiety or high levels of stress, massage therapy can help treat this in a natural manner by reducing cortisol and releasing endorphins. A Swedish massage is a great choice to allow yourself to relax and unwind from life’s stressors; it uses gentle touch so it’s perfect for massage therapy newbies. Bonus points: your quality of sleep will improve from the increased comfort. No more restless nights or struggling to fall asleep from muscle aches. Overall, your mood and emotional state will greatly improve and you’ll feel ready to tackle on whatever challenge gets thrown your way after. 

Better Circulation and Immunity

Your body will thank you from the improved circulation and immunity that come along with massage therapy. Your muscles will feel relaxed from the tension relief and the massage pressure allows for increased blood flow. If you decide to try out a lymphatic massage,

this will assist in the removal of toxins and waste in your body (which will result in a reduction in inflammation and swelling.) 

Relieve Chronic Pain 

If you suffer from chronic pain in your back or neck, or experience severe headaches, massage therapy is a way to help relieve the discomfort. It’s difficult to function and go about our everyday routine when we’re living in intense pain, and we know how hard you kings work. To help treat this, a deep tissue massage is a holistic remedy that will alleviate the tight muscles causing the pain. You’re likely to feel sore and like you went through an insanely difficult workout from a deep-tissue massage, but don’t fret because this is totally normal. 

Healing Injuries

Many of us play sports, or used to play sports, and have suffered from some sort of injury from it. Even if the injury happened years ago, the effects from it linger on and impact the way our body moves. A sports massage can aid in healing those injuries by improving flexibility and mobility, allowing for a greater range of motion. The days of being held back from injuries are over; it’s time to take your life back. 

If you’re not sure what type of massage will benefit you the most, ask your therapist – they will help address your concerns and ensure you receive the best massage for your specific needs. 

There’s a reason why people treat themselves to a massage while on vacation or for a special occasion. Go the extra mile for yourself and pamper yourself with a well-deserved massage as part of your weekly or monthly routine. Feel like the king you are.
