    Massage therapy has a deep penetrating effect, diminishing muscle stress and release toxins from the body, to provide vital relief from the aches cold weather can bring. Massage is crucial for increasing circulation and providing stress and pain relief throughout the colder seasons. All our BMC Massages begins with a cozy heated towells. Then a custom blended hydrating body butter is applied in long, slow strokes combined with detailed attention to areas that hold tension. You will leave feeling more relaxed and refreshed. Your skin will love it too!

    Cold weather brings aching muscles, bones and joints (combined with colds, coughs & flu). One of the most important benefits of massage therapy in cold weather is improved circulation!  Better circulation then promotes body warmth as well as healthier blood pressure levels, better immune system function and increased flow of oxygen throughout the body.

    Five Winter Excuses To Get A MASSAGE!

    SHOVELING

    We all hate it. It’s cold, it’s tiring, it sucks. We can help make it suck less! Our Traditional Swedish, and Deep Tissue massages decrease inflammation and aid in muscle repair.  Getting a massage after shoveling is exactly what your lower back, quads, shoulders, and forearms are screaming for!

    DRY SKIN

    Feeling like a piece of vintage furniture? Cracked, dry, “distressed”? Massage therapy is proven to improve skin hydration during these dry winter months.  Oils and lotions used in massage contain healthy amounts of vitamin E and other vitamins.  Massage therapy improves circulation, allowing your skin to absorb these essential vitamins, leaving you feeling nourished and hydrated! Not only will you glow on the inside, you will exert radiance from the outside!

    IMMUNE BOOSTER

    Cold and Flu season is the WORST!!! Did you know that massage therapy is a proven immune booster? It is! GOOGLE IT! Massage therapy increases lymph flow which is packed with white blood cells or “killer cells”. These “killer cells” fight off infections and bacteria, boosting your immune system during the SICK SEASON! Just think of it as relaxing Lymphatic NINJA training.

    CIRCULATION

    Hands and feet Cold & Clammy? Joints and muscles not moving easily? That’s because they are COLD yo! Massage therapy increases circulation to muscles, joints, and organs, warming up the body. Cold weather can bring on many discomforts, aches, pains and arthritis.  Regular massage enhances blood flow, naturally lowering blood pressure and improving body function! Your head might say no, but what does your HEART say???

     

    WINTER BLUES (S.A.D.)

    Are you sad and angry that you can’t bike, golf, swim, skateboard, get a tan??? Yea, us too. Winter months decrease our opportunities to do our favorite activities, and increase depression. It’s cold, and most of us don’t like it.  Though, we cannot clinically say that massage therapy is a “cure” for depression, what we can say, is that getting regular massages enhances warmth and an overall state of well being. It makes you feel better! Massage therapy releases serotonin and endorphins, relieving stress and making you feel frick’n fantastic… about everything!!!
