Freedom and Healing: Massage During Juneteenth for Well-Being

Juneteenth marks a vital celebration of freedom and a time to reflect on the ongoing need for healing within the Black community from historical and present trauma. At In Touch Well-Being in Norwood, we recognize the importance of this fact

 and believe massage therapy offers a valuable path to physical and emotional release.

Dealing with the hardships of day-to-day life as a member of a minority can contribute to chronic stress and physical tension. Safe and supportive spaces for healing are crucial.

How massage benefits the Black community during Juneteenth:

• Stress Reduction: Massage helps lower stress hormones, promoting relaxation.

• Emotional Release: Provides a safe space for releasing held tension.

• Improved Circulation: Gentle strokes enhance blood flow.

• Body Awareness: Fosters a positive connection with one's body.

• Self-Care and Empowerment: Prioritizing massage is an act of self-care. Research suggests culturally competent care improves health outcomes (Whaley, 2003).

This Juneteenth, prioritize your healing and well-being. Experience the nurturing benefits of massage at In Touch Well-Being by calling 781-769-2710. We are committed to our greater Norwood community.
