Massage & Weight Loss

If you are like many people you may be on some kind of weight loss program. Have you thought about what else you could include in your weight loss program to help you achieve your weight loss goals? How about adding a massage into the mix? A massage is an excellent way to help naturally detoxify chemicals that occur within the body during an intense workout. It also helps to cleanse chemicals that we put inside of our bodies. But can massage therapy help you lose weight?  More on this subject click here.

When we engage in exercise there are certain chemical reactions that occur within our body. These are made up of cellular debris and other chemicals known as lactic acid. Lactic acid is excreted from our muscles during exercise. When lactic acid is released, it often makes the muscles very sore.  When you incorporate a massage into your weight loss program, it helps to release lactic acid chemicals that are retained in your body. Therefore, there is less of a chance of your muscles being sore after you exercise. This is especially important because when your muscles are sore, it is less likely that you will exercise the next day. This is not just a theory it has been shown in scientific studies.

With all of these facts, it makes you wonder why you haven’t scheduled an appointment today.
