Therapeutic Massage Prevention Better Than Cure

By Julie Polson


It is well known that 90 percent of people worldwide suffer from conditions due to stress. Therapeutic massage is well known for reducing stress levels and promoting a better state of well being. For various reasons most people tend to opt out of this form of treatment without at the very least exploring the benefits it may provide them with.

The cost factor is always a deterrent although this mindset is illogical taking into account the following. Say someone has a persistent headache condition and goes every month to their family Doctor for treatment. The cost of the visit plus the medication prescribed amounts to let us say $100.

Another reason that will deter people from exploring the idea of therapeutic massage is the aversion to the idea of another person touching their body. Now most people go to Doctors for the very same reason such as continued headaches for example. Looking at the idea from the perspective that it will facilitate good health is one way overcoming the fear of another person touching them.

Being new to the idea of therapeutic treatments takes getting used to especially if you are the type of person who abhors somebody else touching your body. Then again a point of argument is that a family doctor is not that much different in physicality to a therapeutic therapist. A way to overcome this is to get on the first step of the swimming pool without plunging head first into the deep end.

The $100 that this hypothetical person was spending a month on medication and Doctor visits can now be utilized as a second explored alternative. Most treatments can vary in price but generally it is not uncommon to pay $50 per hour treatment. The benefits of having treatments however, is exponentially enhancing to your health in the long run.

In order to overcome the anxiety of having someone else touch you and treat you with their bare hands, you may want to opt for a treatment on a part of your body you do not find that difficult to expose. Most women and men for example will go for a facial beauty treatment as standard practice to treat the skin on their face.

Therapeutic massage is a means to prevent stress from finding those physical flaws in your physicality. Stress ultimately will find your physical vulnerabilities and it is because of this that it is advisable to make this form of treatment a regimen in your daily life. By taking preventative measures this reinforces the adage that prevention is better than cure.
