Is stress overwhelming you this holiday season?

Have you ever had a massage before? You say, yes. Well, when was your last massage? Oh, you don’t recall. Or, you say, no, you never had a massage. Well, today is the day to try it out. Massage therapy is a great solution to a stressful life. I have been offering chair massage to stressed out and sometimes overworked individuals for some time now. And today I was reminded how beneficial it is to take the time, especially during the holiday season, to “pamper” oneself.

The advantages of chair massage are as follows:

  1. Affordable
  2. Done through clothing and without oils and/or lotions
  3. Comfortable massage chair
  4. Reduces muscle tension and the pain it causes
  5. Calms the nervous system and increases circulation, which boosts energy and alertness
  6. Helps individuals identify and release tension on their own before it becomes a problem

VingelenDr. Jodi Vingelen is Austin city’s naturopathic doctor rooted in natural solutions.Passionately, I utilize nature cure methods personally and professionally. One of my favorite “treatments” is the cold plunge. After a nice long walk or run, there is nothing more rewarding than to come up to a beautiful alpine lake or a flowing river to take a quick dip in the refreshing cold water. It is a stimulating experience. I hope that by reading my short essays on nature cure that you will be enticed into this lifestyle that my patients and I find to be re-vitalizing.
