Research: Studies have proven that the benefits of long term health care practices such as Massage Therapy are not just a luxury. There was a study on if touch was necessary. Two groups were formed of babies. One group received as much touch and love as possible during any activity. The other group was required to receive nearly no touch at all including during diaper changes. The group that received touch flourished and experienced long-term happiness. The group that received little to no touch died by the age of 2 years old.
Body Smirks services such as Massage Therapy are used for more than just pain relief or an every now and again feel good experience. They are an effective therapeutic treatment that will help stimulate healing plus reduce stress, pain, and tension.
Many people don't seem to know this, but health care practices such as Massage Therapy are recommended about every 2 weeks on average for stress alone. Although the frequency of sessions varies for each person, who doesn't need stress or pain management? It's easy to forget that complications and illnesses are caused by stress.
There are various reasons to receive health care services such as Massage Therapy regularly. It's strongly recommended to do research about the benefits of long term health practices (For more information on the benefits of Massage Therapy, visit the American Massage Therapy Association's website). If you have chronic pain, an injury, or a condition that could be due to a high amount of stress, health care services such as Massage Therapy are recommended weekly. The higher the stress on the body, the more frequently self care practices are needed until the stress on the body subsides. It's rare that someone can receive a self care service such as Massage Therapy once a month and have it be enough.
So if you think touch is insignificant or doesn't have a huge impact on your life, think again. Touch is more important than anyone gives credit. Simply through touch, the brain releases feel good chemicals such as dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphin which are necessary chemicals in experiencing happiness and countering conditions such as depression or anxiety.
