It also reduces pain, stiffness and soreness in joints, muscles, tissues and ligaments to increase your range of motion. If you’re an athlete or enjoy an active lifestyle, you can appreciate how a good massage can relieve joint or muscle discomfort. Sports massage can also enhance your performance as you engage in sports or partake of strenuous workouts.

Increases Circulation and Blood Flow

Massage therapy  helps to increase the oxygen flow throughout the body by relaxing tense muscles. When oxygen flows more efficiently, this helps to decrease muscle fatigue. You can get muscle fatigue from doing repetitive tasks. When muscle fatigue is decreased, you'll have more energy and complete tasks more efficiently.

Reduce Pain

One of the best things about massage therapy is that you don’t have to massage the part of your body that hurts in order to relieve the pain. For example, if your lower back is hurting, massaging your shoulders can help to relieve your aching back. This is because during massage therapy a chemical change occurs that reduces pain and stress throughout your entire body.

  • Know the Facts
    • Your increased exposure to the sun in the summer months breaks down an essential substance responsible for protecting your skin’s elasticity and suppleness, called collagen. If you have allowed the sun to deplete your collagen all summer, it will promote early aging and wrinkles. On the other hand, the lack of humidity and cold winds of winter will dry out your skin, resulting in a layer of dead skin cells that suffocates the healthy skin underneath. While you can’t change the weather, you can change your skincare habits.  
    1. Exfoliate
    The summer sun and can easily leave your skin feeling dry and rough. You can moisturize until the cows come home, but it won’t do you much good if you have a layer of dead, dry skin cells coating your body. In order for your skin care products to be effective, you’ll have to clear this outer layer of dead skin—a process called exfoliation. An integral aspect of LaVida Massage’s Designer Peel and Signature Facial is a deep exfoliation.  
    1. Eat for Your Skin
    In order to promote healthy skin, it’s important that you consume plenty of essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Foods like salmon and other cold-water fish are high in the fatty acids that help repair cells. Whole grains, fruits, veggies, and nuts contain the antioxidants that your body needs to protect your skin.  
    1. Know Your Skincare Products
    Fall is only the beginning of what sometimes seems like an eternity of cold, harsh weather. The sooner you start your skincare routine, the better results you’ll see throughout the winter. Many of the regular, over-the-counter skincare products you’ll find in the pharmacy or department store are not only ineffective, but they can damage your skin further. In order to achieve desired results, you’ll need to experience the benefits of ‘professional only’ products. LaVida Massage, as part of our many skincare treatments, relies on Glymed Plus products. Glymed products combines technologically advanced ingredients with certified botanicals and are only available through certified skincare experts.  
    1. Start a Waxing Routine
    Many people complain of dry, irritated skin after shaving. Even if you haven’t noticed this personally, your skin is is still being damaged when you shave. Shaving removes the protective oils and lipids that shields the outer layer of your skin, exposing your skin to the atmosphere, which is what causes the dryness and irritation. By switching to a regular professional waxing regimen, you can avoid the damaging effects of shaving.   This year, prepare your skin for winter by starting your wellness regimen early. For affordable signature and ultrasonic facials, professional waxing services, and designer peels, schedule an appointment at your local LaVida Massage today!]]>     759 0 0 0     3 Tips for Fall Stress Relief https://lavidamassage.com/?p=908 http://lavida.wpengine.com/?p=908
  • Create a calm sleeping environment: After a long day, a solid night of sleep is essential to keep your body right and your mind clear. I have two essentials in my room that help me re-charge my batteries every night; a white noise machine and an essential oil diffuser. The calming rhythm of native drums puts me to sleep and the natural scent of the essential oil helps keep me asleep. Obviously, what noises and scents help you sleep is different on an individual basis, but for me, I like to use the “Zzz Life” sleep blend oil. The oil is specifically blended for sleeping.
  • Address your aches and pains: Hand up, I am completely guilty of just assuming that my aches and pains will go away. Instead of taking the problem head-on, I tell myself that the only way to get rid of the pain is to work through it. There are a lot of pain relief options out there, but I found that Turmeric + Arnica + CBD joint cream works the best. The CBD makes the relief effects last much longer than your typical pain relief cream and the turmeric and arnica help give it a refreshing scent.
  • Have a bonfire: No products here other than what Mother Nature gives us. I’m not sure quite what it is about the snap, crackle, and pop of a fresh log on the fire, but it always puts me in a great mood. Pair that with the soothing smoky smell and some great friends and you may as well call it “heaven”.
