Father’s Day Special: Men Benefit from Massages Too!

Did you know that in July 2013, the American Massage Therapy Association reported that only 11 percent of men had received a massage within a twelve-month period?

With Father’s Day just around the corner, it is time to convince the men in your life that they can benefit from massages too! In addition to a massage relieving overall back and muscle pain, here are a few more facts you can share with dad when you present him with a massage coupon this Father’s Day:

1. According to the Clinical Journal of Pain, people with chronic neck pain reported a 55 percent improvement after ten neck massages over ten weeks.

2. “In a 2010 study from Sweden, one 80-minute hand-and-foot massage significantly lowered people’s heart rates, cortisol levels, and insulin levels—all of which help lower stress” (Men’s Health).

3. A massage paired with conventional constipation medicine has been proven to relieve patients from constipation faster than if the medicine was used on its own.

4. A sports massage can help relieve muscle tension and increase hip-flexor range of motion. If the men in your life frequently exercise or enjoy intense workouts, encourage them to schedule a massage.

For the entire month of June I will be running a Father’s Day special! With kids home for summer, the endless yard work, and numerous outdoor recreational activities in Fort Collins, now is the perfect time for dad to have some quiet time to relax and de-stress.

Treat your favorite men to something special this Father’s Day and take advantage of this offer before June 30!
