Traveling for business or pleasure?


"Traveling can really take a toll on your body", says Lara Bracciante, online properties director for Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP). "Cramped airplane seating, extensive driving, lumpy hotel beds, and varying time zones can leave you feeling fatigued, stressed, and sore. In addition, your immune system can become depleted, leaving you susceptible to illness. Fortunately, massage in an excellent tool for restoring and reenergizing the body when traveling and getting you back to your normal, vital self."

Too much time spending in the same position on an airplane or car, can put more stress and tightness on your body. Your muscles need to continuously stretch in order to be soft and receive good source of oxygen through your blood.

Massage Therapy combined with passive stretching (thai-yoga) is the best choice to improve your circulation, move your muscles and prevent on getting future knots, cramps, numbness and tingling on your extremities, especially your legs.

Take care of your body and don't let traveling on an airplane or car affect your health and wellness.
