Dad Wants a Massage6/10/2020 Dad Wants a Massage TooWhen people think of the health and wellness industry, they think it is predominantly dominated by women. Here at LaVida Massage, it is actually a 60-40 (women to men) split. We encourage all genders to take an interest in their self-care. Don’t let the stigma scare you away from getting your father a LaVida Massage gift card.
It can be hard to shop for dad! Does he already have every tool set? Does he already have a dark blue tie? Instead of a materialist gift, give him an experience this year. If it is your dad’s first time experience massage therapy, he will love it! Even if its not his first time, he will still love it! Each massage is a little bit different. This year, say thank you with a gift from LaVida Massage. Every dad works hard in their own way and there is no better gift than the gift of relaxation and recovery. Whether your father works a blue collar job, white collar job, or just needs a break from life, a massage is the best way to show you care about him and his health. If your dad is all about physical activity, the sports massage could be the right fit. If your dad suffers from back pain, a Swedish or Deep Tissue can help him get rid of the problems that bother him. At all LaVida Massage locations, we offer custom full body massages. This means whatever your father needs, we can tailor a massage to him. As they say, no two dads are exactly the same. For more information on the different massage services that are offered at your local LaVida Massage, go to lavidamassage.com to find the location nearest to you. Each location offers different types of massage services and products, but the best way to see what LaVida can do for your father is to come in and talk with one of our Sales Associates! https://www.lavidamassagefederalwaywa.com/blog/dad-wants-a-massage-too/

How to Beat the Heat!6/10/2020 How to Beat the Heat!Some days, it is just too hot to do anything outside. That doesn’t mean that you have to just sit and twiddle your thumbs on the couch all day! There are plenty of great ways to enjoy yourself without melting in the hot summer sun. The most obvious way to enjoy a day that’s breaking the thermometer is to go to the beach, pool, ocean, or body of water equivalent. But, sometimes it is too crowded to really enjoy your time there. Here are some other great ways to enjoy your summer days without burning up!
As someone who enjoys activity and competition, a great way to get out of the heat but still challenge yourself and friends is to go bowling. It is a great way to get together while not just loafing around the house. You don’t have to go with others though! If you want a little alone time you can always challenge yourself and see how well you can do. Not only is bowling fun and in conditioned air, but a bowling alley can also have surprisingly good food. You may just find a great new place for lunch or to grab a pizza. Another one of my personal favorites and time tested classics, the movie theater! Not only will you have to bring a sweater to the typically cold theater, if you go in the middle of the day you will probably have the whole cinema to yourself. It is a great way to pass the time and catch up on all the summer blockbusters. Stay on top of all the latest pop culture, stay cool, keep your nights free, and keep yourself from going stir crazy in the house when it’s too hot. My favorite way to stay cool during the blazing heat is to go in for a massage at my local LaVida Massage! Not only are the rooms at LaVida kept dark and cool, but the massage itself will also have me feeling more relaxed than ever before. You will be able to attack each day after with a renewed vigor and enthusiasm because you will leave so relaxed and restored. Not only can you go in for a massage, but many of our locations also offer skincare services to help protect your skin from the Sun’s harmful UV rays. You can find your nearest LaVida Massage at lavidamassage.com/locations or by simply searching LaVida Massage in your preferred search engine. Once you find the LaVida closest to you, you can check to see if skincare services are offered or not under the “Skincare & Body Services” tab. Whichever LaVida location you come in to, we will be more than happy to make sure your experience with us is as amazing as possible. https://www.lavidamassagefederalwaywa.com/blog/how-to-beat-the-heat/

Fall is the last bit of “regular” time before the hectic season that is the Holidays. So, it is ever so important to get into a routine sooner than later for both your mental and physical health.

Five Benefits of Massage TherapyThis blog is brought to you by Christine Huegel of Mattress Advisor
With the rise of the holistic and wellness trend that is sweeping the country, people have been trying to find natural remedies to treat their ailments. Because of the growing popularity, new studies have been conducted suggesting new methods to utilize, with a very popular focus on the benefits of massage therapy. Massages don’t just feel great, they have proven mental and physical health benefits that you can start taking advantage of. Below we will explore the top five reasons to book a massage! Reduce Stress Anyone that has gotten a massage knows that it can be a relaxing and calming experience, but did you know that it can actually reduce your stress levels as well? Stress can cause a large number of concerns for your body including irritability, weight gain, sleep problems, and more. It is imperative to get your stress levels under control to have a healthy mind and body. Thankfully getting regular massages could be the answer to your stress problem! A recent study conducted by Chang Gung University concluded that there was a positive correlation between stress levels and getting regular massages. This is because researchers found that when a participant got a massage, their cortisol levels significantly reduced. Cortisol is your stress hormone and controls your fight or flight response. Not only did it reduce participants’ stress levels during the massage, but for up to eighteen hours after it had been completed. Improve Sleep Sleep is incredibly important to everyone’s physical and mental well-being. According to a study conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one in three Americans do not get an efficient amount of sleep. Getting an aromatherapy massage could help you get a full night’s rest. Aromatherapy has been around for thousands of years and is the practice of utilizing essential oils to combat different ailments. An aromatherapy massage uses lotions with essential oils and uses a diffuser to allow the client to inhale the oils as well. Different essential oils can treat different problems you might be experiencing. Some of the best to treat sleep problems include lavender, peppermint, and roman chamomile. Request these essential oils next time you get a massage for a relaxing time and a restful sleep. Pain Management If you are someone that experiences any kind of pain on a regular basis then you are not alone. The National Institute of Health reported that pain affects more people than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. With such an epidemic happening, many people have turned to natural alternatives to reduce their chronic pain levels to avoid addictive medications. The Massage Therapy Foundation published a research project that involved hospital patients that were experiencing pain because of surgical, medical, or other reasons. They integrated thirty-minute massages into their routine several times a week. The study demonstrated that massages led to a significant decrease in pain levels, and also helped patients sleep patterns, relaxation, the healing process, and more. Detoxification Many massage patrons have been told to drink lots of water after their deep tissue massage, but many do not know the reason why. It is because when someone gets a massage, your body begins to release toxins that are stored throughout the muscles. The pressing movement and release during a massage help with the circulation of blood movement and the lymphatic system. Water assists your body in bringing oxygen, new blood, and nutrients to your muscles, organs, and tissue. Massages also help to flush out waste products that are created by different cells each day. All of this helps to flush out the toxins that are built up in your lymphatic system. Getting rid of these impurities in your system can help to increase energy, aid in weight loss, and reduce inflammation. Strengthen Immune System Looking for ways to fight off the cold or flu this season? Well, you’re in luck! A massage could be the perfect boost that your immune system needs to get through this year healthy and sickness free. As stated above, massages help to increase circulation throughout the body. When this happens, it supports an increase in the activity level of white blood cells that are used to combat any virus or infection that it comes in contact with. This increase in cells helps to strengthen your immune system and cognitive skills before, during, and after illness strikes. https://www.lavidamassagefederalwaywa.com/blog/five-benefits-of-massage-therapy/ Book your massage today to start reaping the amazing benefits available to you now! |
