Massage Therapy a Luxury or Necessity?

Are you looking for a Glenwood Springs Massage Therapy treatment? Are you the type of person that only receives a  relaxing therapeutic massage for your birthday or holiday, or only when you’re on vacation? Or, perhaps you may have a belief system that regular massage therapy is only for wealthy people. Times are changing.

Massage Therapy Research
Simply because a full body massage feels like a pampering treat doesn’t mean it is any less therapeutic. A frequent question that is asked is if Massage Therapy is worth the expense.
Research has shown that regular massage therapy sessions are a valuable component of a well-balanced healthcare system that assists in combating the many negative effects of stress, depression, and anxiety (such as lowering Cortisol levels), better sleep, as well as chronic pain, and numerous other physical, mental and emotional issues. Feeling a compassionate human presence and touch leads to emotional well-being.
There are over 1,000 published reports of scientific evidence covering the wellness and health effects from receiving regular massage therapy.   Don’t simply believe us! Please do your own research.

Medical Massage Therapy Insurance 
There are many insurance companies that will cover your massage treatments, and here at Returning Balance Therapies in Glenwood Springs Colorado, we accept Medical Massage Insurance. Many employers are opting for providing massage therapy coverage and various alternative health therapy benefits for their employees. They understand that in terms of preventative medicine approach,  massage therapy creates better health, which means less sick days. This is changing the perception of viewing massage therapy from a luxury to a health necessity.
If your health insurance does not cover massage, there is usually a way to budget for a monthly massage with a little reprioritizing. When there is WILL, there is usually a WAY presented.

With that said, if massage therapy can keep you away from the doctor’s office and away from expensive medications, (please always consult your doctor before discontinuing or changing dosages of any medication) one would have to consider that massage therapy is certainly well worth the expense. As a win-win side effect, therapeutic massage feels fantastic as well as creating better health and well-being.

Creating Your Health and Wellness Plan
When looking your overall health and wellness maintenance plan, consider a weekly, bi-weekly or even a monthly massage as a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan. Massage therapy is also great for your entire family, including your children,  or if you are pregnant. Ask about our family packages.
