This post was written for Tranquil Therapy about massage after a move.
It’s no secret that moving is a physically demanding task. Your Pennsylvania realtor can help you
through the mental and emotional parts of finding the right home for yourself and your family and
then actually closing on the home, and he or she might even be able to help you with the physical
part of moving by referring you to a moving company. But your realtor can’t alleviate your muscle
soreness and stiffness after a day or two of carrying heavy boxes and furniture into your new home.
What your realtor can do, though, is refer you to a massage therapist who can work out those knots
and make you feel better than you felt before the move.
The Health Benefits of Massage
Getting a massage doesn’t just feel nice. It has numerous health benefits, like:
● Improved blood circulation;
● Muscle relaxation;
● Lowered blood pressure;
● Improvement to your posture; and
● A stronger immune system.
There are a few different types of massage, and each is designed for specific health benefits. Most
people getting their first massage get Swedish massages, a type of massage that covers the whole
body to promote total relaxation and reduction of pain and muscle stiffness.
Other types of massage
include:
● Deep tissue massage;
● Shiatsu massage;
● Hydrotherapy;
● Chair massage;
● Hot stone massage;
● Trigger point massage; and
● Sports massage.
Your massage therapist can explain each of these types of massage to you in greater detail and even
recommend one for you based on your needs. Consider trying out each type of massage to see
which is best for you and your body.
Getting a Massage can Get you Ready for your Next Step in Life
Massage has mental health benefits too. Let’s face it: buying a new home and everything associated
with it, like selling your old home and changing your address on all your accounts, is stressful.
Getting a massage will reduce your stress level, which in turn can alleviate headaches and tension
elsewhere in your body.
