This Holiday, Give the Gift of Health!

Tips and Tricks of Massage Therapy
By: Julie Keating

As we head fast into the holidays, you might be scrambling to find something special for that special someone. Instead of getting another tie or trinket they don’t need, consider giving them the gift of health. Massage is the gift that will keep on giving year-round. These are just some of the great health benefits from a massage that you will be putting under the Christmas tree for the one on your holiday list!

Better Quality of Sleep

There are two components to sleep that are equally important. When it comes to the restorative nature of sleep, quality is just as important as quantity. Massage helps to reduce tension, and soreness, and relieve stress, which all contribute to a better overall night’s sleep. When you sleep well, your body has time to heal from a long day. Better sleep also gives you more energy to wake up ready for the new day. By giving someone a massage for Christmas, you are giving them more great days in 2025!

Massage Your Stress Away

Stress is not only unavoidable, it can be healthy when you learn to cope with it appropriately. A massage helps to ease tension in your muscles and joints. It also helps your body release endorphins, which are little pockets of pick-me-ups that can lessen tension and stress. What better way to help someone you love cope with stress in the new year than by showing them how much a massage benefits their life!

Ease Sore Muscles

Many people make New Year’s Resolutions to get into shape. Those first few weeks at the gym usually come with sore and overworked muscles. By gifting your loved one a massage, you can help them achieve their goals for the new year without pain. Massage helps to increase blood flow to sore muscles for quicker recovery time. It also helps to release lactic acid, which can alleviate some of the stiffness and soreness from workouts. 

Start the Year in a Better Mood

The holidays are a time of fun and gathering. It is normal for people to experience a bit of a holiday hangover come January. Give your loved one the gift of a post-holiday pick-me-up. Massage is a great way to increase blood flow for energy, decrease cortisol, which can lead to stress, and give that special someone on your list a little jolt of euphoria. That’s something that you can’t get from just any other gift!

Feel More Relaxed

Of all the wonderful benefits of massage, relaxation is arguably the best. If you have someone on your list who usually puts themselves last, give them the gift of time for themselves. A massage is not only healthy, it feels good, relaxing, and restorative. There aren’t many other gifts that can grant that kind of peace of mind!
