Healthy staff = Healthy Bottom Line
Stress seems to have become a constant factor in today’s fast-paced society. If left unchecked, it can wreak havoc upon your health. Learning how to effectively manage stress can mean the difference between being robust and full of life, or becoming susceptible to illness and disease. Stress can weaken the immune system and accelerate the aging process. The ability or opportunity to relax and rejuvenate promotes wellness, vitality and longevity.
A healthy immune system regulates the body’s healing process and protects it against infections and diseases. When stress comprises the immune function, it can result in colds, flu, fatigue, an ill staff. Stress increases heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels, adrenaline, cortisol, free radicals and oxidative damage. This damage initiates the “fight or flight “response, places undue strain on the heart, and can also increase the feelings of anxiety and depression.
People who recognise a weakness in their immune system often wonder if massage can be helpful. The answer is YES! Regular massage sessions provide significant benefit beyond the immediate relaxation you enjoy. Numerous scientific studies show positive results from regular massage treatments.
Another obvious benefit of massage is the stimulation of the lymphatic system. This is of particular help to people who are in sedentary work and do not exercise regularly. It helps to eliminate toxins from the lymphatic system and increase blood supply to carry nutrients and oxygen around the body strengthening the immune system.
