Massage & Your Immune System

Flu Season Got You Down? Don't Let It Get Your Immunity!

The sniffles, the sneezes, the chills... flu season is here! But before you resign yourself to a week of misery, consider adding a secret weapon to your defense:

massage therapy! ‍

Yes, you read that right! Massage isn't just for relaxation. Here's how it can boost your immune system and help you fight off those pesky viruses:

Boosts circulation: Massage increases blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your cells, which keeps them fighting fit.

Detoxifies your body: Gentle massage techniques help move lymphatic fluid, flushing out toxins and waste that can weaken your immune system.

Reduces stress: Chronic stress is a major immune system downer. Massage helps you relax and release stress hormones, giving your body the energy it needs to fight off illness.

Increases white blood cell activity: Studies show that massage can actually increase the number and activity of white blood cells, your body's frontline soldiers against infection.

So, ditch the tissues and grab a massage appointment! Regular massages (even just once a month) can be your secret weapon for a healthier, happier flu season.

P.S. Remember, if you're already feeling sick, wait until you're recovered before getting a massage. Don't spread the germs!
