Benefits of Massage on Vacation
Most folks desire a massage on vacation. However, when is a good time to receive a massage while you are on your holiday? Why not begin your vacation with a message? When we think about receiving a massage on vacation we envision relaxing and unwinding as our muscles release the tension from the usual daily routine. Massage is a great way to begin a vaca!
Our lives are jam-packed with a business that creates an ongoing flow of cortisol and adrenaline. This keeps us in a flight or fight process that hammers our bodies with stress. Sometimes it may feel like our responsibilities are endless! Our bodies were not wired to maintain a high level of daily constant stress. When we do not take the time, or rather, Choose to Schedule the Time to take proper care and maintenance of our physical, (what we eat and drink and how we move our bodies) mental, (what we choose to think and our choice of perspectives) and emotional, (how we process what we feel) aspects of ourselves is when our bodies begin to show symptoms of our body systems breaking down.
What happens during a massage to our bodies is incredible in regard to our physiology. Massage delivers incredible healing to not only our muscular system but also our circulatory system and immune system, which increases the production of protective white blood cells. White blood cells fight against diseases and viruses, leading to faster healing and the prevention of illness. Massage therapy relieves stress, which we all know is a precursor to illness and disease.
What are other great reasons to receive a massage on vacation?
When we receive a massage at the beginning of our vacation, allowing our muscles to relax allows the damage and stress that occurs to our skeletal system, and muscular system to release. 
Promoting the blood flow with the long stretching strokes and other stretching techniques your professional massage therapist will apply during a massage will enhance one’s health. Promoting blood flow is vital to health as it delivers oxygen and essential nutrients to your body. This allows pain to subside.
One of the things you will notice immediately is that the increase in blood flow will also allow your muscles to perform more efficiently during your hikes and other adventures.
Massage is not only for the body but also massage is for the mind. When massage therapy is combined with scented aromatherapy oils, not only will the body release into a deeper state of relaxation but the mind will also follow suit and relax, bringing relief from anxiety, stress, and depression while enhancing mental clarity. This also promotes better sleep. Imagine relaxing into your comfortable bed and getting a restorative rest that improves all body functions as well as your perspective for the new adventures the next day.
Massage is suggested as a health maintenance protocol, and not only for a vacation or a birthday
to celebrate yourself, but as a way to take care of yourself. However, enjoying a massage on vacation when you first arrive will improve your outlook on the entire adventure, and another massage after a long hike or an outing that requires physical endurance will also rejuvenate your muscles for the next one!
Remember to drink water to flush out toxins, and hydrate your tissues to promote your muscles to perform their best during your adventures as well as before and after your massage therapy treatment.
