There are many benefits to receiving regular massages but if it has been awhile, Spring time is the perfect time to schedule your next appointment! Winter can take a toll on our bodies and Spring brings more outdoor and physical activities. From muscle recovery to allergy relief, a massage can make all the difference in helping your body get back and keep the best health and wellness shape.

5 Reasons to schedule a massage

1. Seasonal allergy relief. Massages may help in dealing with allergy symptoms like congestion, puffy eyes, sneezing, coughing and headaches. While massage can’t eliminate the specific allergy, it can be very effective in managing the symptoms. A facial massage has also been known to help with sinus drainage and pressure relief!

2. Help with injuries. Massage helps relax and soften injured and overused muscles. This helps to increase circulation to shorten recovery time which is necessary for tissue repair.

3. Pain and stiffness. Spring is the perfect time to start activities outside but these activities can cause muscle fatigue, pain and stiffness. Help keep your body more fluid and active with regular massages.

4. Brightens mood. Massage increases the levels of serotonin and dopamine, which are both neurotransmitters that help stabilize your mood. So kick those winter blues with a regular massage!

5. Reduce stress. Experts estimate that 80 percent to 90 percent of disease is stress-related. De-stress and relax with a massage.

My story…

March AMTA Member of The Month – Karina Eckert, LMT
Karina is an AMTA Member and Board Member.
Here is her story:

Who led me to massage therapy?
In 2010, I was working in Information Technology but was very unhappy. I desperately wanted to be home with my children and not be sitting at a desk all day, while someone else raised my kids. After a discussion with my husband, I quit my job and went back to school.

I spent a few years just taking general education courses trying to figure out what I wanted to do. I took a career workshop that pointed me towards medical careers. I know I wanted to help people, but I also still wanted to be active and not be stuck sitting at a desk. I narrowed it down to the Physical Therapy Assistant program and began taking the prerequisite courses to apply to the program at Elgin Community College. I later came to find out that they only accepted 20 people into the program every year, but over 200 applied at the time. I felt disheartened, I needed to decide on a path and start working towards a goal so I could get back to work and helping my family.

One day, when picking up my daughter from school with my backpack on, another mom asked me what I was going to school for. I explained that I was trying to get into the PTA program at ECC but was not sure I would make it. She asked me if I had ever considered massage therapy and I said no, not really. I mean I had received massages before but never really thought about touching people. She said, “I teach in the massage therapy program at ECC, why don’t you come take my 6-week intro class and see what you think?” After some thought and consideration, I tried it and I fell in love! I learned so much about the therapeutic side of massage that I had never known before, and I excelled. I did very well in the class and found that I didn’t mind touching people at all! I then applied and was accepted into the Massage Therapy Program and graduated in 2013.

Becoming a massage therapist awarded me the freedom to be with my kids when they were young, and to mold a career that has allowed me to contribute financially to my family, yet still be there for my family when I needed to. The added benefit was all the wonderful people I have met and helped along the way. Throughout this whole journey, this has been the cherry on top for me!
