It's cold outside...

Joints and muscles get stiff and sore when it's cold outside.  They get stiff and sore when we are sedentary.  It's easy to become sedentary when it's so cold and miserable outside.  
Not only will massage get your blood moving and warm up your muscles from the inside out, but at my clinic you will lay on a heated table that will warm you from the outside in.
So in addition to helping with all the other malady's you've heard about, headaches, joint pain, anxiety, anxiety, general malaise, massage is also great for warming you up!!  And warming up those muscles will ease the aches and pains in them.
You're probably STILL doing too much.  After the holidays, it's time to clean up.  And, if you live where there is snow (as I do), then there's the shoveling and moving of all that heavy white stuff, sprinkling the salt or snow melt.  And even possibly, slipping on the stuff, which causes those tight muscles yet again!
Getting a massage is more than just a luxury.  It's keeping up with the tension and stress we all deal with.
