If you need a time out from the kids, a massage could be the answer. No, it doesn’t have to be painful, and you don’t need to be in pain to benefit. You might actually be surprised at the amount of stress and tension your body is holding, especially during the school holidays.
Change or, in the case of school holidays, disruption to our routine can have a far greater impact on our bodies than we may realise, and there’s the problem. Because you haven’t realised or recognised the signs, you are putting continual pressure on your muscles, with pain commonly starting in your shoulders or neck, pain you are most likely ignoring.
Studies have shown that massage is an effective treatment for stress, pain, and muscle tension. The great news is that at Sarum, our team can offer different types of massage. While regular massage is hugely beneficial, we don’t mind if you book in for one session to escape the kids.
If you can hear squeaks, clicks, and grinding noises when you move, then a massage is most likely just what you need. It’s a chance to take the weight off while one of our fabulous team works their magic on those knots to release the stress and tension you are holding in your body without even realising it.
Benefits of massage include:
- Time away from the kids – okay, that’s not a serious benefit!
- Improved sleep
- Reduced stress
- A boost to your immune system
- Reduction in muscle pain
- Relief from headaches … those caused by the children or not!
At Sarum, we offer:
Deep Muscle and Soft Tissue Massage, Sports Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and Relaxation Massage are the types you will most likely wish to book. These treatments are not only relaxing but also relieve the stress of the school holiday.
Massage can make just about anyone feel better, and as we’ve already said, you needn’t be unwell to benefit from this oldest and most natural treatment.
Call 01722 415 055 and speak to our friendly reception team, who will do their very best to find a suitable appointment time. While we are very child-friendly at Sarum Physio, we don’t recommend bringing children with you to your appointment. They might be bored waiting, and you definitely don’t want them in the treatment room!
