Massage at Simply Balanced | Simply Balanced

Thanks to our amazing massage therapist Kayleigh Gregg?for helping write this post!?

Here at Simply Balanced, we know there?s nothing better than getting a great massage. Here, we have a fantastic team of massage therapists who can tailor your massage to whatever you need.?While getting a massage can be a great excuse just to relax, the benefits of massage go far beyond de-stressing.

Benefits beyond de-stressing
Regularly getting massages can?boost your immune system by stimulating lymph flow. Not to mention, a massage will improve circulation. Massage can exercise weak or atrophied muscles, stretch tight muscles, plus relax and relieve muscles that are injured or overused. A massage will also increase your flexibility, your range of motion and of course, your body awareness.

Massage also has more specialized benefits. Are you an athelete? A massage is a great way to?prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts and events. Plus, it even reduces muscle spasms and cramping. A massage can also reduce post-surgery adhesions and swelling (only after a six week recovery period, though). It can also reduce scar tissue and stretch marks by stimulating cell regeneration. It can?relieve tension headaches and even migraine pain. Finally, a massage releases endorphines and by doing so can even relieve depression and anxiety.

A Massage that?s Just Your Type
Whatever your situation, at Simply Balanced, our massage therapists work to fit your needs. Here?s a quick glimpse at just a few types of massage our therapists offer and their benefits:

Deep Tissue Massage -?reduces chronic pain, breaks up scar tissue, rehabilitates injured muscles, and improves blood pressure.

Prenatal Massage -?alleviates stress on weight-bearing joints and musculo-fascial structures,?relieves pain and discomfort common during pregnancy, stabilizes hormone levels, keeps blood pressure in check, increases blood circulation (providing more oxygen and nutrients to both mother and fetus), stimulates the lymph system (increasing immunity and removal of toxins), and can reduce time spent in labor.

Neuromuscular Therapy -?relieves muscle pain and stiffness, clears trigger points to improve muscle function, prevents latent trigger points from becoming active trigger points, and restores muscle strength.

Myofascial Release -?eliminates fascial restrictions and imbalances, improves range of motion and flexibility, faster recovery from exercise.

We also offer Structural Integration, Swedish Massage, Reiki and others. These are just a few of the techniques our therapists draw from to specialize your massage.

Making Massage Part of Your Routine
If you don?t think massage therapy should be part of your regular routine, think again.?Just getting one massage can be relaxing, but it won?t bring lasting relief from pain, tension, and discomfort. Kayleigh recommends everyone receive a massage once a month as part of their self care and stress management if they?re able. ?If you have a job that is physically taxing, every other week is a great goal to help you stay healthy and pain-free. However, if you experience chronic pain, you will find receiving a massage as often as once a week extremely helpful. ?The idea is to listen to your body and its needs. Massage will actually aid in building that body awareness, so in receiving regular massage, you?ll eventually begin to get a feel for what works for you.

Don?t forget: All first-time massage clients get 20% off your first massage!?Call the front desk at 615-321-5200 to book your massage today (just be sure to book at least 24 hours in advance). See you in the studio!
