The importance of recurring Ashiatsu appointments

One of the biggest requests we get from new clients is “do you offer a discount?” At Heeling Sole we encourage the fact that massage therapy is not a luxury. If you have chronic pain and high stress, one single massage will not do the trick – although it will definitely help with acute pain and reduce the heat of the moment! A series high quality massages that will create a noticeable positive change in chronic soft tissue pain is something that really needs to be budgeted for. Our price reflects the quality of our work, and our discounted massage packages rewards your dedication to yourself.

Scientists and Medical Professionals know that massage is good for you… not only for stress management, but for pain management. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) suggests massage as a non-pharmacological therapy that can be used successfully in pain management. The Journal of Clinical Rheumatology reports massage therapy lowered stress hormones, anxiety and depression in fibromyalgia sufferers and worked more quickly than transcutaneous electrical stimulation. Even DR. OZ recommends regular massage as a way to improve your health.

Regularly scheduled massages is a step in the right direction to a healthier lifestyle

But just like it takes formal research to truly prove the benefits of bodywork, it will take a series of sessions for your massage therapist to discover and treat the restrictions within your tissues. The shorter periods of time you leave between massage sessions (1-2 weeks, for example) allows your body enough time to assimilate the massage, to accept the changes and heal with a lasting effect within those realigned soft tissue structures. Leave too much time between massage appointments, and your body falls back into it’s usual patterns… over-healing the overused muscles, contributing to more scar tissue and adhered myofascial sheets along repetitively strained areas of your physical being. Keeping up with a massage schedule is only hard if  you make it that way. The more regularly your body gets a tune up, the better it will run, the longer it will last, and the more enjoyment you’ll get out of it – just like your car.

Integrating regularly scheduled massages into your life is a big part of your wellness plan – along with exercise, yoga, a healthy diet, and other forms of complementary alternative medicine.
