“Several studies have investigated whether massage therapy can relieve some of the symptoms of two common conditions associated with aging: osteoarthritis and Alzheimer’s disease.
Massage has a great deal to offer in ameliorating the aches and pains associated with aging. Along with exercise and NSAIDs, massage can reduce symptoms of common OA. For people living with Alzheimer’s disease, massage is a low-risk and relatively low-cost intervention that can be easily taught to caregivers. Particularly with the concern over the long-term side effects associated with many of the medications used to manage behavior in patients with Alzheimer's disease, massage is a promising intervention that may reduce caregiver stress as well.”
It’s important to note that while you receive a lot of benefits from being on the table, you can still receive benefits from sitting in a chair with hand/foot massage. Massage does not have to be full body for you to see improvements!
I have to be careful on what I drink. Caffeinated drinks and milk give me acid reflux, and water gets boring. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on some good Day Spa Deals.
