Do you remember that accident you had carrying a piano last summer that literally pulled your hip right out of it's socket?
It was excruciating wasn't it?
Sure, they popped it back in, and the doctor who prescribed you some medication for pain said that all exams had presented results that show there is nothing further the world of medicine can do for you.
You're left with a pit in your stomach, feeling vulnerable as hope appears to be a fluttering sparrow. This is more painful than you can bear.
It wasn't just the pain of dislocating a hip after a 2 ton grand piano falls on top of you, but the uncertainty of being able to do the things in life you really do enjoy. Your morning jog, evening walks in the park with your significant other, chasing your children around in the backyard, or just painless and effortless walks to and from your restroom.
Your mind starts to ponder, will I ever walk again correctly? Am I always going to have a limp? How can I get myself on the right path to recovery? What will my family think of me, what will I do for work, how can I have fun anymore with my kids, is this it for me?
All these questions seem to rush through your mind uncontrollably. It's enough that we see about half a million people everyday on the television speaking about rehabilitation programs that can help people with these kinds of injuries. "But what does that do for me?", you might be saying. "Those programs are way to expensive and not every one recovers completely."
Your right. Not everyone recovers completely from their injuries. Most people continue their daily lives with that excruciating pain reminding them of the horrible accident that left them almost lifeless and sedentary. What are you going to do?
Massage therapy is a form of alternative medicine that is considered the oldest and primary form of pain therapy & medicine. It has been around since early man hit his head on the roof of a cave and instinctively began to rub it to reduce the pain.
Massage is used for a variety of reasons: to bring a client to a deeper level of relaxation, to rehabilitate, to prevent an injury, or to slow the progression of an illness.
It is the most affordable and rehabilitating thing you could do for yourself today.
Enduring pain from injuries in the past doesn't have to be the end of it.

Feeling SICK? Learn how massage effects your immune system
The immune system is our bodies system for fighting against any foreign material that should simply not be there.
A part of our immune system is the lymphatic-immune system. This is a one-way system for drainage of excess fluid from the body's tissues and is a complement to the circulatory system.
Just as the circulatory system has disease-fighting functions, the lymphatic-immune system has them too. Lymph, the fluid of the lymphatic system, is transported through progressively larger vessels that drain into two large veins near the neck.
Eventually, through the filtering action of the lymph nodes and organs, the system provides immunity against disease. This is rightfully done through the work of lymphocytes (white-blood cells) that act as defenders against foreign material and disease.
So the primary course of action is to simply INCREASE the production of lymphocytes your body pushes out.
Massage supports immune functions in that it increases the lymphocyte count, promotes lymph circulation and reduces edema. Fluid retention adds weight to an individual (edema) and when swelling is addressed with massage weight is constantly reduced by enhancing lymph circulation.

Natural Blood Pressure Solutions
Grandparents and aunts or uncles are usually the people in our lives that have blood pressure problems and they don't always know how to lower that pressure by means of natural causes or treatments.
The most common thing to do is of course go to the doctor and request some sort of medication that will provide some temporary relief. Symptoms that occur from the medication that we call "adverse" effects are not the most appreciated though.
When the blood vessel is constricted (small space) blood cannot flow through effectively, this is the pressure we talk about when the blood pressure is high. When the blood vessel is dilated (larger space) blood can flow easily throughout the body.
Understanding blood pressure is explained best I believe with this simple demonstration. Take two balloons, a small one and another twice the size of the first. Placing a cup of water into each balloon. Which balloon has the lesser amount of pressure, the smaller or the larger?
This illustrates how massage can lower blood pressure through reflex action and increasing the parasympathetic response. By increasing the diameter of the vessel, the pressure inside the vessel decreases.
Decreasing blood pressure is just one of the many effects that massage has on the Cardiovascular System.

The Myth of PAIN
The greatest idea people have when they go for a massage seeking some pain relief is that it SHOULD hurt.
I am here to tell you that this is in fact NOT TRUE.
It is enough that as a first time client you have never experienced a professional massage and don't know what to expect. Your first massage therapist should have explained several things to you.
1) PAIN is not necessary for a massage to be effective.
2) I am not saying PAIN is not something that is common when receiving a massage.
3) Any PAIN during massage should be cautiously attended.
Tell your therapist the next time you go for a massage that you will need them to begin with light to medium pressure and gradually get deeper if he/she thinks it is necessary. This will give the therapist more than enough time to truly assess the tissues meanwhile bringing you to a point of trust between you and your therapist.
We usually tense up our muscles when we feel or think we are about to experience some PAIN that we think could also cause an injury. The gradual increase of pressure applied by the therapist can contribute greatly to your comfort and relaxation as well as your trust in your chosen therapist.
