Is Massage Covered Under Michigan No-Fault Insurance?
Level Up Your Self Care Game
Self-care means taking time for yourself, and it doesn't have to be time-consuming. Even 5-10 minutes of mobility work with tools like Yoga Tune Up® therapy balls can make a big difference. Self-care workshops and short daily routines can help address various issues, making it essential for overall well-being.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage, or MLD, redirects lymph flow and helps with various conditions. Unlike traditional massage, it's a light-pressure technique. MLD treats edema and lymphedema, the latter requiring specialized therapy. The Vodder Technique, like gold standard treatment, is practiced at Michigan Massage and Wellness. MLD aids post-surgery, allergies, detox, and more.
Massage and Cancer
Massage therapy, when done by trained therapists, is safe and beneficial for cancer patients. It can alleviate common treatment-related issues such as nausea, fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems, offering comfort during a challenging journey. Massage does not spread cancer; metastasis involves complex genetic changes.
Massage and Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is more than occasional discomfort; it's debilitating. It affects mood and daily life. Massage therapy offers tailored relief, resetting nerves and releasing feel-good hormones, complementing other treatments.
Massage and Depression
Massage and Pizza
Massage isn't one-size-fits-all; it's like choosing between Pizza Hut and a specialty pizzeria. Chains like Massage Envy are the Pizza Hut of massage—cheap and predictable. But for a personalized, effective massage that targets your needs, choose quality over quantity.
Massage and Stretching
Massage Doesn’t Work
Massage doesn't work if you don't do the work. Just like achieving fitness or dietary goals, healing through massage takes time and commitment. Regular sessions can retrain your neuromuscular system and provide lasting relief from chronic pain. Don't let pain become your norm.
Massage Etiquette
Let's demystify massage etiquette. Falling asleep is okay; it's your time to relax. Shaving? No pressure. Clothes? Your choice. Tipping? If you want. Talking? Up to you. Erections? Natural, no issue. Bathroom? Just speak up. Feedback? Always encouraged. Your comfort matters most.
