Regularly Scheduled Massage is Good for Your Physical & Mental Wellbeing 

Did you know that massage can reduce stress and increase overall relaxation? Massage can also reduce pain and muscle soreness and tension, help with muscle and joint recovery after intense workouts, improve circulation, lower heart rate, blood pressure and can increase overall energy and alertness.  


The Mayo Clinic reports that some studies have found massage to be helpful for digestive disorders, fibromyalgia, headaches, insomnia related to stress factors, low back pain, myofascial pain syndrome, nerve pain, soft tissue strains and injuries, temporomandibular joint pain, upper back and neck pain, hand and foot pain, and more. 


Research shows that regular massage can also assist in alleviating the effects of anxiety and even depression. According to a study by the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine, one benefit of receiving massage is in the reduction of cortisol, a well-known stress hormone by more than 53%.  


Massage can also help in producing feelings of caring, comfort and connectedness because of the way the “feel good” chemicals (endorphins, oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin) are released during sessions.  


Now You Can Book Regularly Scheduled Massage Treatments at TLC Bodywork – and receive a discount 

 

Many clients ask me how often I think they should come in for massage, and this got me thinking. Common recommendations state that clients would greatly benefit from at least one massage per month, and regular massage as often as twice per week in severe pain situations can help alleviate pain symptoms and lessen recovery time. Regular massage appointments can help clients stay on top of stress and pain management.  


As a way to help clients be able to come in more frequently, I would like to offer a set of massage therapy memberships which will both lower the cost per massage and create a regular rhythm of massage therapy for clients’ wellbeing.  


Core Self-Care Packages 

 

Core Self-Care Packages come in twelve-month increments and must be used within 18 months of their initial purchase. These packages are charged in lump sum and are not refundable after the first massage is booked, nor are they transferable to other clients. These sessions can be booked anytime (not just once per month). Packages are for 90-minute massages and 60-minute massages only. These packages are rated at the best price per massage I can offer.  You can find more information here. 


Month-to-Month Membership Option 

 

I have also added a month-to-month option which requires a six-month commitment. Month-to-month memberships come in one, two or four massage sessions per month increments. The price list is here. Memberships are not refundable and are not transferable to other clients. 


The benefits of massage are evident. That said, massage isn’t a replacement for regular medical attention.  


Be sure to discuss with your doctors that you are receiving regular massage as part of Your wellness plan. I have always considered massage and bodywork a collaborative work, which means, we are collaborating with your bodily awareness as well as all of the work you are doing outside of the treatment room at TLC BODYWORK Denver.


Book Now! I Have a Limited Number of Memberships Available 


You already have enough items on your to-do list. Remembering to book your next massage doesn't have to be one of them. I have openings, and I look forward to working with you! 


Joining a membership program makes it easy to keep coming back for regular appointments. Pick a plan that works best for you today, save some money, and relax knowing that there's one less thing to worry about. 


I also have massage packages available in increments of three and five. 


Don't miss out on the best way to get regular relief from life's aches and pains. Visit the TLC BODYWORK website to learn more about becoming a member today! 


PACKAGES & MEMBERSHIPS


12-Session Massage Packages are now available. These packages are the best deal I can offer at this time. 12-Sessions Packages can be used anytime within an 18 month timeframe. This differs from month-to-month memberships which are paid for one at a time and to be scheduled once a month.

Can I Brag a Little Bit? (Testimonials!)

-
One of the recommendations I have received from some of the pro massage therapists in my community is to acquire testimonials from clients I have been working with over the last year at massage school. I have some (!) and I'd thought I'd share, as well as send a word out to others I have worked with that your testimonials help me to see that the work we have been doing is indeed facilitating some change. Please let me know how I'm doing and if you'd like to submit some testimonials, please do! You can do so here:  http://tlc-bodywork.massagetherapy.com/contact-information . Just choose "testimonials" in the dropdown box and I will update the page as soon as I can with your feedback. In Service and Gratitude, Tameca. p.s.

One of the wonderful things about any yoga practice is that you can start where you are. I have been on and off my yoga mat for the last decade or more. It may seem that I can only call myself a sometimes (and fledgling)  yogini  though yoga in general is on my mind every day and I have other daily practices that follow the  eight limbs  such as breath work, mantra, and so on. As one of my teachers has relayed, "The body does not lie." I have a lot of tight muscles, imbalances, and to be fair, some extra parts that won't cooperate with me so well. All of these things get in the way of meditation, causing discomfort and agitation. Really, it gets in the way of living . I mean, how much easier would my pedestrian life be if my hips and calves were hydrated and limber? I would also have much more energy.  I often give fairly simple yoga exercises to my massage therapy clients as homework. Quite a few clients have begun implementing their homework and asking for...
