Celebrating Pride: Embracing Self-Care Through Massage

June is a vibrant time as we celebrate Pride Month and the ongoing pursuit of equality for the LGBTQ+ community. Beyond the festivities, it's vital to recognize the unique stressors faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, which can impact both mental and physical well-being. At In Touch Well-Being in Norwood, we believe self-care is paramount, and massage therapy offers a powerful avenue for nurturing your health in a safe and affirming space.

Experiences of discrimination and the fight for acceptance can contribute to heightened anxiety and tension. Massage therapy provides a welcoming space to unwind and release this. We are committed to inclusive care, ensuring your comfort and support throughout your session.

How massage benefits you during Pride:

• Stress Reduction: Research shows massage lowers cortisol levels significantly (Field et al., 2005), promoting calm.

• Anxiety Relief: Massage can be as effective as other relaxation techniques in easing anxiety (Moyer et al., 2004).

• Body Acceptance: Massage can foster a positive connection with your body.

• Tension Release: Alleviates muscle knots and headaches related to stress.

• Improved Sleep: Relaxation through massage often leads to better rest.
