Massage Therapy Beneficial In Relieving Postural Stress

Experts have estimated that upwards of 90% of disease is stress-related. Stress manifests in the body in various ways, but often it causes aches and pains in the muscles of our body. For example, prolonged computer use, and poor posture can cause stress to the neck and shoulder area. If you have a desk job, you’ve more than likely dealt with some type of postural stress. It’s no fun to deal with and even leads to headaches and unbearable tension migraines. 

Postural stress and desk jobs go hand in hand, but there are tools to help relieve the tension and stress. You can swap out your old model desk for a standing desk to increase your stand-to-sit ratio, and decrease stress and fatigue. If you prefer a seated position, you can set a timer that reminds you to get up and move around every so often.

However, sometimes we let things go for too long and need a good “reset”, both physically and mentally. When this happens, and we know it does, massage therapy is a great tool to utilize. Massage carries both physical, and mental benefits. This service is offered right here, at our on-site spa!
