Physical Fitness and Massage a Match Made in Heaven

Aug 21, 2015

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo., (August 20, 2015) -- It’s no secret that physical fitness has many positive benefits for a person’s mind and body, and that massage therapy can help improve overall health and wellness. WellBiz Brands, Inc. (WellBiz), one of the largest health and wellness organizations in the U.S., believes combining massage with physical activity can push individuals even further in reaching their wellness goals.

“Millions of people are hitting the gym and pushing their bodies to new limits; but they are unaware that adding massage therapy to their health and fitness routine can supercharge their workouts and improve all aspects of life,” says Jeff Jervik, CEO and president of WellBiz, a company that is committed to changing lives and owns the entities that franchise three successful brands: Elements Massage™ (Elements), Fitness Together® and FIT36™. “Massage helps with muscle strength and can greatly improve recovery time, improving an individual’s ability to train.”

Physical activity is known to lower the risk for disease, relieve stress and release happy hormones, called endorphins, which put people in a generally better mood. Government studies show strong evidence that physical activity in adults and older adults can lower the risk of early death, coronary heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, adverse blood lipid profiles, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and colon cancer. Physical activity can improve cardio-respiratory and muscular fitness, as well as cognitive function, and help prevent weight gain and falls.

Marry that to massage therapy, which helps to improve activity and efficiency by reducing pain, prevents injury, encourages mental focus and shortens recovery time between workouts, and the match is naturally beneficial.

“We have clients of all ages, backgrounds and activity levels. Many are shocked by how much of a difference a targeted massage makes in their athletic performance and mindset," says Seth Humphrey, a certified personal trainer and franchise owner of Fitness Together, a company that provides customized, one-on-one personal training. “When you exercise or participate in sports, massage can not only improve conditioning, it can help you maintain peak performance. Reducing stress can help the body recover faster from injury, relax tight muscles that can cause injury, improve blood flow and improve elasticity of tissue."

These benefits do not discriminate by age or physical fitness level. High school athletes can benefit from massage just as much as a retiree who hits the golf course a few days a week. Combining massage with exercise can increase range of motion, reduce muscle tension, improve blood circulation, reduce chances of injury, improve overall performance, and so much more. Individuals who participate in exercise and are looking to gain that extra edge and overall well-being need to relax a little...on the massage table.
