Massage Therapy and Stress Reduction… Consider a relaxing, rejuvenating in-suite massage by a Registered Massage Therapist during your stay at Stone Gardens on the Lake. Couples massage is also available. Please mention your interest at the time of booking. Massage therapy is one of the best antidotes for stress. Prolonged periods of stress can subconsciously affect many systems of the body. Stress has been shown to aggravate, or even cause, such problems as: heart disease, gastrointestinal disorders, memory loss, and decreased immune function. Massage boosts the body's immune system, which can become compromised from extended periods of stress. Tension can build up in the muscles, causing a decrease in circulation and nutrient delivery to tissues. Manipulation of the soft tissue decreases muscular tension, increases removal of metabolic waste and promotes nutrient delivery to healing tissue. With a therapeutic massage, stress can be significantly reduced. This, in turn, will increase energy, improve your outlook on life, and in the process boost your immune system function. What is a Registered Massage Therapist? Massage therapy is a regulated health profession. Registered massage therapists have completed many hours of education (2200-3000 hours) at accredited schools and have extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology, assessment, bodywork techniques, and pathology to know when massage is or is not suitable. A registered massage therapist is covered under most health insurance plans. However, it's advised to check your policy for current coverage, since many plans require a referral from a health care provider first. |
