Scroll to the bottom to see how massage therapy has changed at One-to-1 Fitness!
Massage therapy is a very important aspect of your personal health and fitness program. Experts estimate that as much as 90% of disease is related to the effects of stress. (Physiological, physical and emotional) When combined with exercise and balanced consistent nutrition massage therapy can have a very dramatic effect on the reduction of stress of all kinds. Additionally, it has been well documented that specific physiological and chemical changes occur within the body following a massage treatment.
Some of the most common and immediate results of massage therapy include:
- Alleviation of chronic pain and an increased range of motion.
- Dramatic short term improvement to posture when combined with individualized exercise.
- A strengthened immune system through the stimulation of lymph flow.
- Significant increased physical performance in any activity.
- Increased health of the body’s largest organ, your skin.
- Increased joint health, stability and flexibility.
- Relief from symptoms of depression and anxiety.
- Promoting regeneration and healing, injuries heal with less scar tissue or stretch marks.
- Improving circulation by enhancing blood flow.
- Significant increase to weight loss and metabolic rate by encouraging hormonal cascade.
- Reduction of post surgery swelling.
- Relieve headaches and many forms of pain by encouraging endorphin release.
Research continues to show enormous benefit to the regular use of massage therapy and the medical community is beginning to actively embrace and promote its use. Below are more examples of situations where massage therapy has had a profound impact.
- No surprise, arthritis sufferers report a reduction in aches, pains and stiffness when regular massage therapy has been implemented.
- Asthmatics show better pulmonary function and increased peak air flow.
- Burn patients report that pain, itching and anxiety subside faster with regular massage therapy.
- High blood pressure patients have shown decreases in diastolic blood pressure and stress hormones.
- Women experiencing PMS have shown less water retention and cramping with regular massage.
Compliment your health and wellness even further with the synergism of Far Infrared Therapy.
One of the fastest growing health therapies in North America, Far Infrared Therapy (FIR) has strong synergism with the effects of exercise and massage therapy.
Far Infrared therapy expands capillaries which stimulates increased blood flow, regeneration, circulation and oxygenation. A powerful compliment to the similar effects from exercise and massage therapy.
An excellent method of detoxification. Scientists in Japan report that in the FIR treatment of clogged capillary vessels initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins. Far Infrared thereby promotes elimination of fats, chemicals and toxins from the blood: Poisons, carcinogenic heavy metals – toxic substances from food processing – lactic acid, free fatty acids, and subcutaneous fat associated with aging and fatigue – excess sodium associated with hypertension – and uric acid which causes pain. Furthermore, if sebaceous glands are activated, accumulated cosmetics in pores can be eliminated through the skin (sweat and oil glands) rather than by the kidneys. FIR also promotes the killing of many pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.
Far Infrared stimulates enzyme activity and metabolism. One hour in the FIR cabin burns more than 900 calories by raising the metabolism and body temperature. In addition to burning fat calories FIR light waves have also been shown to break down cellulite.
A strong synergism also exists between exercise, massage and FIR therapy in the rebuilding of injured tissue. This is accomplished by having a positive effect on the fibroblasts (connective tissue cells necessary for the repair of injury). Furthermore, it increases growth of cells, DNA syntheses, and protein synthesis all necessary during tissue repair and regeneration. Excellent for healing burns, scar tissue and skin problems.
By stimulating increased production of white blood cells (leukocytes), Far Infrared strengthens the Immune system with its direct effect on the bone marrow and killer T-cells of the thymus.
Far Infrared therapy will further enhance cardiovascular fitness without additional cardio exercise. This occurs as an increase in heart rate and cardiac output and a decrease of diastolic blood pressure. Extensive research by NASA in the early 1980’s led to the conclusion that far infrared stimulation of cardiovascular function would be the ideal way to maintain cardiovascular conditioning in American astronauts during long space flight.
