For some people massage is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Entrepreneurs and executives in business all over the world are adding massage into their regular self-care routine. Leaders in business have extremely hectic lifestyles which creates significant stress, sleep issues, pain, tension headaches, migraines, backaches, etc. If you have pain in your body, it is hard to stay laser-focused on your business. Even the insurance industry is approving of massages in an employee’s Health Savings Account (HSA).
Athletes have understood the therapeutic value of receiving a massage for sore muscles, reduced range of motion, trigger point referring pain, etc. to be able to play the game week after week. Massage and physical therapy are a necessity for them to stay in the game. Entrepreneurs and executives are on the go, sitting in a car for long periods to drive to appointments, positioning themselves in front of a computer screen in the same positions for hours, holding a phone in an awkward position, and planted in a conference room chair holding meetings. All of these physical actions can cause problems to a person’s body – wrist, arm, shoulder, neck, back, leg, and foot issues. Then, you add the stress of the day, day after day, you’ve got a mess mentally and physically.
Mayo Clinic
Even Mayo Clinic supports having a massage. According to Mayo Clinic “massage is generally considered part of complementary and integrative medicine. It’s increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations. Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.
While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found massage may also be helpful for:
- Anxiety
- Digestive disorders
- Fibromyalgia
- Headaches
- Insomnia related to stress
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Soft tissue strains or injuries
- Sports injuries
- Temporomandibular joint pain
Beyond the benefits for specific conditions or diseases, some people enjoy massage because it often produces feelings of caring, comfort, and connection”.
