Top 10 Reasons to Get a Massage*: 

 

1. Blast away the effects of STRESS - Muscle manipulation during a massage relieves muscle tension. Initial stress appears physically in our bodies via tight muscles and the discomfort of those same muscles increases stress; vicious cycle.  The majority of times, holding patterns are created in the body (eg. shoulders raised up, jaw clenching) that one does NOT recognize UNTIL a massage where our Therapists bring awareness through touch to the client.  Whether the stress is emotional, mental (work related) or physical (sport) related, the stress theory is the same.
2. Pain reduction and management - Massage increases blood flow thereby increasing oxygen to the body as a whole to either temporarily relieve a localized injury/ache or decrease the pain as a whole due to improved circulation.
3. Improve circulation and remove toxins- Blood is manually moved during massage while Therapists intentionally massage from one part of the body to another, laterally, bilaterally, etc.  As mentioned above, massage increases the blood flow thereby increasing and spreading oxygen to all the muscles.  Oxygenated blood to muscles; is as food to humans.  When we properly nourish our muscles with oxygenated blood through manual massage we extricate the toxins held within those muscles.  Ever hear a Pure Spa MT (Massage Therapist) telling you to drink water after a massage?  The #1 reason for that is to assist in flushing/removing toxins in the body.  Ever have a headache after a massage?  Ask yourself, honestly, if you were dehydrated or when the last time you received a massage to manually remove toxins was.
4. Lower blood pressure - Research any medical journals for Hypertension (High BP) and you will see a long list of medications, diuretics, and many other medications that can help treat hypertension but keep scrolling and you'll notice a small yet powerful note on alternative ways to treat... Massage Therapy.
5. Give your immune system a boost - Take care of your body and it takes care of you!  A supple body free from toxins is sure to assist the immune system in maintaining homeostasis (balance).
6. Aid in prevention of injury and illness - With an increase to your immune system and properly nourished muscles, fascia (connective tissue that encompasses every muscle/tendon), and ligaments, your body is better prepared to take on that pickup wii or waffle ball game or recover from that missed step heading to the office!
7. Improve posture - Massage brings awareness to sore muscles.  Muscles that are strong and nourished can help sustain the proper posture that so many of us struggle to sustain while at our desks, laptops in bed, or driving in our cars.  I bet a Pure Spa MT has asked you about your daily activities or jobs trying to find the cause of a reoccurring muscle ache.
8. Recover from injury more quickly - By manually bringing nutrients to the muscle, it's as if your mom's there her fix-all homemade chicken soup!
9. Relax muscle tension and improve flexibility - Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds each and every fiber underneath your skin.  Ever wonder why you are strong yet not flexible?  Try receiving Myofascial Release within your massage and you'll see the difference when Massage Therapist directly concentrates on an area of the body.  Those tight woven fibers bind up easily and aren't always released if proper pressure isn't applied.  As yoga increases muscle flexibility consider Myofascial Release the yoga of Massage Therapy.  See first bullet on Blast Away Stress. 
10. Sleep better - You've now eliminated the achy back, assisted the stress relief and given your body a break... sleep is the only answer.

*Always consult with your doctor when using new treatments - including pharmaceutical and alternative treatments.

Peels - What? When? Why?

We can’t be more excited to launch our new peels this holiday season!  It’s the perfect time to get that quick glow or boost your facial results.  After much research and many trials, our Skincare Team decided on the Image Peel Line; specifically the Vitamin C Peel and the Lightening Lift Levels I and II (Pure’s Signature FaceLift).

So what exactly is a peel?

Facial peels are products that are applied to the skin in order to remove dead cells and expose the fresh, softer skin below. The term is also used to describe the treatment you receive when a peel product is applied to your skin.

Estheticians use facial peels that affect only the outermost layer the epidermis — skin that’s most hardened, and no longer “alive.”

 

When should I get a peel?

Depending on what your goal is, you and the esthetician will evaluate your skin and recommend a regimen of peels.  For a result booster, peels can be done immediately after a microdermabrasion or in between facials with a 2 weeks buffer time in between peels.

Why Should I Have a Facial Peel?

Superficial peels can benefit the skin in many ways:

• Stimulate blood flow and increase the rate of skin turnover, bringing newer cells to the surface more rapidly
• “New” skin has a smoother appearance, and is better able to retain moisture.
• Improve the effects of sun damage, including a softening of fine lines and a lightening of hyper pigmentation (commonly called age spots)
• Helps to remove open comedones (blackheads) or make their extraction an easier process; often makes it easier to remove closed comedones (whiteheads) which must be lanced prior to removal
• Improves red, pus-filled acne blemishes (by making them easier to extract when they’re ready)
• Improve overall skin texture and remove debris from the skin’s surface.

After evaluating your specific concerns, your skin care therapist may recommend a series of peels. However, allergies and other issues may require that you delay a peel (or choose another option for exfoliation).
