Insomnia... the struggle is real.

Adequate sleep is necessary for healthy functioning, and quality sleep is vital to health and wellness. But so many of us experience poor sleep patterns, or can’t get enough sleep – which affects our health and our day-to-day activities. But how can you possibly get a better sleep?
The National Institute of Health has advised that massage therapy can reduce fatigue and improve sleep. Based on research gathered by the American Massage Therapy Association, massage has been shown to improve sleep in infants, children, adults, and the elderly alike, as well as individuals with psychiatric disorders, fibromyalgia, cancer, heart disease, lower back pain, cerebral palsy, and breast disease.

Because melatonin influences the sleep stage of an individual’s circadian rhythm, massage is a natural way of boosting serotonin (a precursor to melatonin), making it a positive sleep-inducing option.

Getting regular massage treatment is a smart, healthy, and drug-free option that has helped many people overcome insomnia when included in an overall plan for better sleeping.
