Evolutions Medical and Day Spa is now offering massage in our new Santa Barbara day spa facility. A massage is a great way to relax, unwind, rejuvenate, and unplug from our busy lives. Massage therapy has been found to help relieve aches and pains by reducing inflammation, boost immunity by increasing disease-fighting white blood cells, decrease tension headaches and reduce migraines (if done on a regular basis), increase blood flow and lymphatic drainage to rid your body of toxins, and provide an overall sense of relaxation from everyday stress. There’s even more good news though! A recent study published in the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork showed that weekly sessions of massage can have a positive effect on balance, the nervous system, and cardiovascular health in older adults. The study compared older adults who received six weekly 60-minute full body massages with a control group and the results revealed that the massage group experienced a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in stability. Postural stability and lower blood pressure are both important facets to leading a stronger, healthier life, especially in older adults.
