Greetings!
Did you know that YOU have access to the same treatments that keep top athletes out of pain? Yes,
extraordinary talent has next to nothing to do with being born lucky.
Massage Therapy Journal recently sat down with Michael Phelps...to talk about his swimming career and the role massage therapy played in his training and recovery.

Q:
What role did massage therapy play in keeping you in top shape as a competitive swimmer and, more specifically, an Olympic athlete?

Phelps:
Massage therapy was a very big part of my training routine. I treated my body like a race car and always wanted it to be ready to go. On average, I was getting worked on four to five days a week.

For most of us, keeping our body working like "a race car" means being able to work and play without pain & stress getting in the way. This can be achieved by adding regular massage as part of your health care routine.
The research demonstrating that massage helps with stress and anxiety is fairly well-established. However, recent research in a 2017 study also looked at the effect of massage on musculoskeletal strain related to prolonged sitting posture with people whose work involves long periods of sitting at a computer.
Results of this study showed decrease in heart rate variability (stress) and musculoskeletal pain/tension in participants receiving Massage within a setting of relaxing music.

So what we see is that whether you are an Olympic athlete or a prolonged sitter, Therapeutic massage is a great treatment option.
However, Therapeutic Massage in a clinical setting differs from Spa massage and shows the BEST results for musculoskeletal pain. Spa massage may feel good but is non-specific. Treatment for a workplace injury differs greatly from a sports related injury for example. A Massage guided by a doctor skilled in musculoskeletal injury will have treatments notes to guide the therapist, maximizing specificity and results.
We will see you soon in the Massage room:)
Yours in health,
The staff at InnerMovement

Sleep issues are common among infants and toddlers, and are estimated to occur in 20 to 30 percent of children under 3 years of age. When children experience poor sleep, mothers are also affected. While implementing a bedtime routine is often recommended, there is little research on its efficacy separate from other treatments, or on which components of a bedtime routine help to improve infant sleep.
Previous research has shown that massage can have a positive effect on sleep for preterm infants, infants and young children.
