Commit to Wellness
It’s a common misconception that self-care is an indulgence or a once-in-a-while treat to reward yourself. To the contrary, regular therapeutic care for your body and mind gives you the energy and endurance that allows you the ability to maintain your busy lifestyle. Sanctuary Salon & Med Spa’s customized memberships provide a series of rejuvenating sessions – each building on the last – to clear your mind, calm your nerves, care for your body. It is a powerful tool to help you take charge of your health and elevate your well-being. Of course, we all know massage therapy helps reduce stress, pain and muscle tension. However more research has been done that confirms the benefits of massage therapy go far beyond the “feel good” factor. Massage helps reduce levels of cortisol, a stress hormone in the body, by over 50%. It helps increase your body’s serotonin and dopamine levels, both of which are released by the body when you’re feeling relaxed or happy. Massage can help relieve depression and anxiety and enhance your overall well-being. It can help relieve and even prevent headaches, particularly migraines. Migraine headaches are frequently caused by excess stress and lack of sleep. Massage therapy improves sleep patterns, reduces stress in the body and high blood pressure. Regular massage can help patients reduce their need for painkillers when affected by elevated back pain that may have been caused by something as debilitating as a bad car accident. Additionally, massage therapy can help the body recover after surgery by assisting in the improvement of joint movement, blood circulation and muscle use, as well as reducing post-surgery swelling and boosting tissue growth.
