Top 10 Reasons To Get Regular Massage

1. Massage feels great!

It's like going on vacation for an hour or two right here in Brooklyn! Many of my clients go into "the zone" of deep relaxation during a session in my Brooklyn massage studio and can feel refreshed and restored on every level - emotionally and physically.


2. *Relieve pain!

When delivered by a trained and licensed massage therapist, therapeutic massage and bodywork can help melt away aches and pains n regular sessions. Rather than taking pain medication which often has many side effects, a good massage not only has no side effects, but also feels really great. Consider going a more natural and healthy route and feel your pain no more with therapeutic massage right here in urban Brooklyn - home of Urban Zen Massage & Acupuncture!

3. *Reduce Stress!

Massage soothes your nerves and your tired muscles. It calms your body and helps relax your mind. Less stress means a longer quality life. Less stress means more energy. More energy frees you up to enjoy life more. Therapeutic massage energizes you. Receive a massage at Urban Zen Massage & Acupuncture and feel the difference!

4. *Recover fast from injury or illness!

Massage helps increase the body's natural ability to heal. It boosts the immune system and recovery time can often be cut in half during times of injury or some illnesses. You'll soon be on your way to good health.


5. *Be successful!

Perform better and be the best you can in your life! A more stress free existence boosts performance by allowing you to be more efficient and calm in the midst of your daily challenges. Just like the athlete, who needs to keep the body in top shape to be a winner, those of us who truly want to achieve high performance in our careers and/or personal lives need to take supremely good care of themselves. Good bodywork is a must for those who wish to achieve extraordinary results in their lives. For success in life, add that something extra champions count on!

6. *Prevent future injury and illness!

Tense muscles pull on and tighten tendons and ligaments, cause rigidity, cut off circulation for proper metabolism, drain us of energy, and pull our body out of alignment. Unattended, this can eventually lead to a host of diseases. Often this state of affairs goes unnoticed for a long time, until it is too late. We may move wrong and due to our imbalances and tightness hurt ourselves in ways that could have easily been prevented with a few massages. This neglect may cause us much grief, pain, and expensive visits to the doctor. Many chronic conditions might also be avoided with regular bodywork and massage. One of the greatest benefits of massage you will never know about. It is the disease avoided and the injury that did not take place, because your body was in good shape to handle life's challenges, all with a little massage. So do not delay the massages that are as essential to a healthy life as brushing your teeth and taking your vitamins.


7. *Be all that you can be! Enjoy your life to the fullest!

The body is the vehicle through which we experience the world. If it does not function properly, we cannot enjoy our wealth, our hobbies, our relationships, our work, or anything else for that matter. A good and happy life starts with a sound and healthy body. Keep it in shape by treating it right. Massage increases self-esteem, improves your mood, decreases depression, reduces anxiety, quiets insomnia and can ease PMS symptoms.
Just like taking care of your possessions, your body is the crown jewel of all your possessions. Good exercise, nutrition, rest, and regular bodywork are essential to its upkeep. When feeling like a million dollars, life is a lot of fun. Therefore, be good to yourself and get a massage.


8. *Relax and enjoy!

Relax into that urban zen state only those who have received a great massage know about. We are not human doings. We are human beings. To slow down and simply be is an art many are forgetting. Massage is an easy way to simply be, to know how good it can feel to be human. Simply relax and feel the bliss of your own aliveness and the good feelings that can be experienced so easily. I would not know what life would be like without receiving a massage once a week and I do not want to know either. Don't miss out and treat yourself to a massage at Urban Zen Massage & Acupuncture in Brooklyn Heights.


9. It's Anti-Aging!

Massage enhances tissue elasticity and joint flexibility; improves blood and lymph circulation; and promotes healthy vibrant skin. Massage also stimulates skin gland production, leaving clear, healthy skin. Massage helps reduce superficial scar tissue, improving skin condition(s).



10. *Give yourself what you deserve and need!

Are you among those who are in a lot of pain from neglect? You may have put off therapeutic massages or simply never considered their importance. Now you have a chance to stop the deterioration of your body! You are hurting. Your body is achy, your muscles sore, your posture poor, and your life out of balance. Don't let it get worse! Start to pay attention to your body and if you do not know how, it is easy. Let a skilled professional health care practitioner pay attention to it and you will quickly feel the difference therapeutic massage will make in your life!
