Ellen, a regular at Dynamic Touch, is an inspiration to us all.  This is a picture of her showing off her hard-won wooden bowl trophy for the 2009 Waikiki Rough Water Swim.  After 20-plus years of trying, she finally won her age group in this 2.4 mile ocean swim event.   Not only that, but this season Ellen also earned the Bronze Medal in the Senior Olympics for the 100 meter Freestyle (a VERY competitive event!).  She answers to the title “Professor”, since she has a PhD in Chinese History, and teaches Social Sciences at PCC.  When I told her I think she is a star, she just smiled and said “I am not a star — but I do show up and go for it!  I never think that winning is everything.  Trying your best is everything.  I love doing what I do.”  Ellen gets Sports Therapy Massages regularly, says that massage helps her stay loose, and works out the soreness and kinks, and “it just feels good”!

You Deserve it!

If you’re stressed, YES, of course, you need a massage!  Who doesn’t?

You deal with deadlines, long lines, short tempers, and your dog’s indigestion.  We’re all at the receiving end of things we would rather not deal with.  Massage can be the valve that eases the pressure.

Cortisol is an important hormone in the body, secreted by the adrenal glands.  It has beneficial functions when it is present in normal amounts.  Higher and more prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream (like those associated with chronic stress) have been shown to have negative effects, such as:

Sugar Metabolism (Sugar Cravings and abdominal fat)

Blood Pressure

Immune Function

Inflammatory Response (joint and muscle pain)

To keep cortisol levels healthy, you can learn to relax your body with various stress management techniques (exercise and meditation), and you can make lifestyle changes in order to keep your body from reacting to stress in the first place.  Massage has been found by many to be very helpful in relaxing the mind, and aiding the body in maintaining healthy cortisol levels.
