Coronavirus – Boost Your Immunity with Massage Therapy
Right now, our country is focused on disease and fear. This stress makes our bodies more susceptible than ever to illness. During intense stress, our brain sends signals to our hormonal system to get ready for an emergency, but this also suppresses our immune system. Some experts claim that as much as 90% of illness and disease are related to stress.¹
Massage therapy has been shown to not only reduce stress, but also boost your immune system naturally. Mayo Clinic considers massage therapy as part of complementary medicine and notes that there have been numerous studies showing the stress busting power of massage.² As your body comes back to balance, your white blood cells (which fight infection) increase.³ Massage therapy also increases the activity level of the body’s white blood cells that work to combat viruses such as coronavirus.⁴
The independent, licensed massage therapists at Centered Therapies, have always held a high standard of cleanliness. Proper handwashing techniques, clean linens, and disinfected surfaces are some of the ways we try to keep our therapists and clients safe. Come destress and heighten your immune system.
Just as we are doing everything in our power to provide you with a clean, safe environment. We are asking you to do the same. If you feel you are experiencing symptoms of coronavirus or had a fever in the last 24-hours, please call to reschedule your appointment.
