New parents' massage to balance the stress out

Most people think of a massage as a luxury way to spending money. You lay down in a spa oasis, relax , take a nap and go back to work to stress out again. I had a client the other day on my massage table with pain in one of her shoulders from overuse. I am trying to suggest her that it would help to rest the shoulder for a while for it to get better, to which I get a reply " Aha, tell it to my job!" How sad, I thought. People really become slaves to their income. A stressful day needs to be balanced. The Stress is the major cause of disease. If you don't find ways, which Massage, by the way, is a great one, to relax, the Stress is going to make you ill, and sad, and depressed and debilitated. This is why Massage is not a luxury, it is a necessity! When you can't find time or resources for a vacation, it is very likely you can find ways to get a massage, at a spa, massage parlor, your second half, your child ( they love to massage their parents, especially when they have been massaged by you before- another great benefit of massaging your little ones ;) ) etc so you can balance the stress out and relax and let your body relax in gratitude for the work done.

This especially applies to parents of very young children. Every time I have a new mom or a new dad on my massage table my heart grows bigger because I know that this mommy or daddy is going back to their baby happy, less anxious , more relaxed, more acceptant and more patient. And all this to add to the restorative and healing effects of the massage on the maternal new body.

Researches prove that the new baby's brain waves are able to align with the mother's, which is amazing and calls for consideration. Happy mother, happy baby; stressed and depressed mother, stressed out and depressed baby.

Unfortunately I hear mothers that prefer alcohol to relax. Let's not forget that alcohol is a depressant! If you feel already depressed, alcohol should be avoided, it creates a vicious cycle which deepens up and makes you feel worst. The optimal solution is to seek professional help, massage your baby to keep focus on the new life you have created and let others help you. You are not alone and shouldn't stay alone! Start by getting a massage!
