In the Native American culture, the cardinal symbolizes renewed vitality through recognizing self-importance.* It is also a year-round bird. We at Arrowhead Massage therapy have adopted the cardinal as our totem to symbolize our availability every day of the week, and our mission is to help you renew your vitality and recognize your self-importance.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

I recently saw a commercial where it indicated that 2 out of 3 people on anti-depressants still have feelings of depression. Their suggestion was to take yet another pill. My suggestion is to try more exercise, practice better eating habits, and look at alternative ways to handle the daily stresses.

Massage Therapy is an excellent way to relieve aches and pains and increase the "feel good" hormones of serotonin and dopamine, and to release endorphins. It will assist you to get in tune with the season. A regular massage will help you clear out the cobwebs in your physical, mental, and emotional self.

Massage Therapy reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins, the body's natural pain-killers. When your Body is relaxed and fully functioning, your Mind can also take a break, allowing your Spirit to rise. Therapeutic Massage enhances medical treatment and helps people feel less anxious and stressed, relaxed yet more alert.

We all have stress, and some stress is necessary to be functional, productive citizens. The problem for most of us is that we are over-stressed, over-worked, sleep-deprived, and under-appreciated. Stress manifests in many forms. It can appear as a headache, insomnia, neck/shoulder pain, low back pain, irritability, ulcers, twitches, depression, anxiety, digestive irregularities, or a lowered immune system which makes you more susceptible to viral and bacterial attacks. According to Sandra McLanahan, MD, Buckingham, VA, "Massage Therapy is beneficial for almost all diseases. Eighty percent of disease is stress-related, and massage reduces stress."

Massage is to the human body what a tune-up is for a car. The obvious difference is that you can buy a different car but, like it or not, your body is yours to keep. This makes it even more important to provide your aching muscles with regular maintenance.
