Posted on November 7, 2012 by admin

To find the best Hydrotherapy massage in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

With the electoral debate behind us, and the winter holiday months ahead of us(although you couldn’t tell with the beautiful 70 degree weather we’re experiencing here in Denver this week!), stress relief is on everyone’s mind! Hydrotherapy massage is just another relaxing modality we offer at Peace of Mind Massage at no extra cost to our customers. We believe in providing relaxation to our clients as well as therapeutic results at an affordable price. Hydrotherapy massage is an excellent way to relax and to relieve tension. At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver we have professional grade hydrocollators in each treatment room. These machines are filled with temperature regulated water at 160 degrees and inside of them are packs that soak up the hot water. We use professional grade pads and towels to wrap the packs in and apply them to the body, usually on the back and hips, but they can be applied almost anywhere. Moist heat is much more therapeutic than electric heat as electric heat does not penetrate past the top skin layer. Moist heat seeps into the muscle and tissues under the skin. We also offer hot stones and hot towels to apply hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy enhances relaxation allowing you to receive deeper therapeutic release during your massage session.

If you are wondering how to relieve stress, alleviate pain and optimize your body’s natural health, then you should consider incorporating hydrotherapy massage. You’ll see amazing results with the benefits of Hydrotherapy added into your treatment regiment. Hydrotherapy massage is the use of water at varied temperatures to address specific concerns, and it can be an important integration to get the maximum benefit from your massage therapy sessions as well as individualized self-care. Hydrotherapy massage can be applied in a number of ways including; heat compress, cold compress, hot baths, and cold soaks. Adding hydrotherapy to your massage session can create ideal conditions in the body for addressing specific concerns. Hot and cold applications have their own effects on the body systems, and these properties can be used singularly or combined to achieve the desired results.

Heat therapy can be effective for relieving symptoms of arthritis, muscles and joint pain, and respiratory conditions. When hot water is applied to the body it relaxes the muscles, lowers blood pressure by increasing systematic blood flow, and increases perspiration. Heat causes the blood to be drawn to the skin surface and slows down activity in the internal organs. This process facilitates detoxification through perspiration and through stimulation of the lymphatic system. A hot compress can be used to increase blood flow to a localized area and relax specific muscles or areas. Combining aromatherapy to a heat compress can help the body absorb the essential oils, and calm the nervous system. Hot baths relax the entire body and are helpful with stress relief, anxiety, and insomnia. Steam baths are another form of hydrotherapy that is effective in relieving respiratory problems, especially with the addition of aromatherapy to open up chest restriction.

The application of cold water, or cryotherapy, stimulates activity in the internal organs and nervous system and can be useful for problems with digestion, headaches, and pain relief. Cryotherapy restricts blood flow to the surface of the skin and draws heat towards the core of the body. The restriction of blood flow is effective in relieving localized pain in the event of injury or chronic pain, and prevents inflammation from causing further damage to the tissue. Once the cold compress or cold water has been removed from the skin, the blood will rush back to the site. This process is similar to the effect or trigger point work, or simply pushing a finger or a fist on tight muscles. For self-care it is recommended that cold therapy is applied with submersion in cold or icy water. This can be especially effective as post-event treatment for runners or athletes. During a massage a cold compress can be added to a localized area to restrict blood flow and decrease pain or sensitivity, typically we would recommend a heat treatment followed by a cold treatment to maximize the work done to the area.

Hydrotherapy massage can be most effective when heat and cold application are used alternately by applying heat for five to ten minutes followed by three to five minutes of cold application. This method utilizes properties of both hot and cold therapies to achieve ideal healing conditions. Heat therapy can be used initially during your massage session to draw blood flow to the muscles which allows the fascia surrounding the muscles to relax, and the massage therapist can then work deeper into the tissue to allow the muscles to release. Once the muscles have been released a cold application will prevent inflammation or overstimulation of the tissue. This will leave lasting effects of the bodywork once the cold has been removed and the blood rushes back to regulate the body’s temperature back to normal.

Remember to hydrate before and after receiving hydrotherapy massage or administering hydrotherapy at home, to replenish the body from increased perspiration. Receiving at least one massage a month can have a huge impact on overall health and well-being. Hydrotherapy can be added to any modality of massage including deep tissue, Swedish, neuromuscular therapy, hot stone massage, aromatherapy massage, manual lymphatic drainage, and sports massage. We will customize your massage to address your concerns, and we look forward to working with you! To book your hydrotherapy massage give us a call at 303-881-5533 or book online today!

How to relieve stress in Denver: Craniosacral Therapy for emotional release

Posted on August 22, 2012 by admin

To find the best Craniosacral massage in Denver to relieve stress visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

Are you a stressed out Denver resident wondering how to relieve stress from your mind and body? Massage therapy is a wonderful way to relieve stress starting on the muscular level. Craniosacral massage in Denver could be the answer you’re looking for to relieve stress. The physical pain that you are feeling may be the result of emotional stress. When the mind is in a state of stress or trauma it sends signals to the body in the form of hormones such as adrenaline or endorphins. These hormones activate the muscles to go into a state of protection, sometimes called muscle holding. Over time this repetitive reaction to emotional stress will cause severe pain in the body.

Stress signals naturally move to vulnerable areas of the body, making those areas more susceptible to chronic pain. The back and spine are common areas for the body to hold emotions. The stress response of the body can affect posture and structural support of the back, neck and spine. This can cause headaches, migraines, chronic back pain, deteriorate health in the spine and cause pain throughout the body.

One way the mind communicates stress to the body is through the spine with the movement of cerebral spinal fluid. Craniosacral massage uses an assessment of the body to determine where there is blockage or imbalance of cerebral spinal fluid in the spine and cranium. Craniosacral massage helps to relieve stress by redirecting the flow of cerebral spinal fluid away from areas of blockage. Clearing up the blockage will allow the body to release harmful emotions and memories that are keeping the body in a state of tension. When the body is in a tense state it is difficult to recover from trauma, emotional pain, and stress. Therapeutic massage helps the body come to a state of deep relaxation and awareness that is crucial for the healing process. In order for the mind to heal emotionally the body should be in a healing environment where the healing process can be guided. At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver we provide a warm and safe environment for that healing to take place. One way to relieve stress is to find places like our Denver massage clinic where you can escape from the loud and rushed outside world.

The Craniosacral rhythms of the body can be felt in several different areas, including the arms and legs. Pain in the arms and legs can benefit from Craniosacral therapy because the nervous system carries messages to the extremities through the spine. The therapist will use light pressured massage to palpate the body rhythms and redirect the flow fluid. The stomach and throat are areas that commonly tighten up to protect against harmful emotions; Craniosacral therapy hones in on these areas with light pressure for a non-aggressive release of emotional build up. Since most of our stress feelings originate in the mind, it can cause pressure to build up between the cranial sutures. The sutures attach the cranial bones together and allow for a slight bit of movement between them. Much of Craniosacral therapy focuses on balancing the movement between the cranial bones which results in better communication of the nervous system throughout the body. To relieve stress you might find the gentler approach of Craniosacral Therapy more beneficial during high stress periods then deep tissue massage, as it may be more intense than usual when you’re being effected by stress.

Remember that your daily thoughts and emotions are directly related to the condition of your physical body. When there is pain in the body it is an indication of deeper problems that the body needs attention paid to. Breaking through physical pain is just one layer of maintaining health in the body. Being aware of painful emotions and stress can direct you to the proper care at the time you need it. We encourage our clients to share with us their emotional concerns as well as physical concerns when planning treatment, this will help us to intensify the therapeutic approach and start the healing from the inside out.

Craniosacral massage is very versatile and can be combined with any other modality of massage to achieve the most benefits out the treatment session. If you would like to try adding Craniosacral massage to your session, simply ask your massage therapist if they can incorporate it into the last 10-20 minutes of the session. This may be the key to breaking through chronic pain and stress starting at the deepest emotional level. Stress is a sickness and relieving stress is a form of healing that the massage therapists in our Denver massage clinic specialize in.

Massage in Denver

Posted on August 12, 2012 by admin

To find the best massage in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver we offer massage techniques ranging from deep tissue, sports massage, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, hot stone, manual lymphatic drainage, TMJ massage, trigger point, prenatal massage, reflexology and Craniosacral therapy. There are as many different varieties of massage modalities as there are reasons to use massage therapy for treatment. With such a wide variety of treatments your massage in Denver can be specified to meet your unique needs. If you have just started integrating massage therapy into your health regimen or if massage therapy is already an integral part of your personal health it is important to be mindful of the powerful effects that massage therapy has on the body.

The purpose of any massage modalities is to hone in on the specific muscles and muscle groups that are causing pain or discomfort, and use the appropriate strokes and techniques to release the muscles. During the process the muscles and joints are being trained on a muscular level to hold the body in a balanced, pain free position. It is very common for clients at our Denver massage clinic to come to us with concerns about a specific area of their body, and once they are on the table they learn that pain in one area of their body affects the entire system. Massage therapy effectively restores the body’s balanced posture because it considers each muscles contributions to the whole body function.

The skilled Denver massage therapists at Peace of Mind Massage are able to isolate specific muscle tension and correlate it back to the connectivity of the muscular system. Massage is useful for treating headaches and migraines by relieving pressure and releasing muscles of the head, neck and shoulders that are related to the pain. Massage can be used to increase range of motion and flexibility in areas with restricted movement. We are also able to provide massage that helps the body recover from injury. By increasing blood flow to the affected area as well as breaking up excessive scar tissue formation that could inhibit movement or cause pain.

Body work helps alleviate aches and pains by providing a passive workout for the body while focusing on muscles pain caused by inactivity or repetitive motion. To get the most benefit from massage therapy we recommend for the client to continuously train the muscles to hold balance posture. This can be done by stretching the muscles that are typically flexed or tightened, and strengthening the muscles that are extended or stretched during daily activity. Some practices that compliment massage therapy and which can be done throughout the day are yoga or meditation. We have referral relationships with yoga studios and meditation sanctuaries in Denver.

At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver, it is our philosophy that massage therapy provides a passive workout for your body and due to the intense nature of the treatment is it common for the muscles to be sore the day after receiving massage. This is because the muscles have been worked while they are relaxed which allows the therapist to stimulate the muscles on a deeper level than self-stretching or even a regular work out will allow. Although during the massage you may be very relaxed, it is helpful to remember that your muscles have been thoroughly worked and it’s recommended that you limit your physical activity for the remainder of the day. We suggest that physical activity after a massage be treated like the cool down part of your work out, paying special attention to areas that were focused on during the massage.

There are several other things that you can do to get the most benefits out of your massage in Denver! Taking an Epsom salt bath can replenish the body with help nutrients and the active ingredient; magnesium sulfate; helps to remove toxins from the body. If it’s too hot outside to take a full bath then just soak the areas that are of most concern. Applying ice or a cold pack for 2-5 minutes to areas with inflammation or soreness will help relieve pain. Remember to drink plenty of water before and after your massage and communicate with your Denver massage therapist about what you are feeling before, during and after the massage. This will help us create the best possible treatment for your specific needs. We are dedicated to helping you get the most benefits from massage therapy and your wellness program!

Craniosacral Therapy in Denver

Posted on August 3, 2012 by admin

To find the best Craniosacral therapy massage in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

Are you looking to experience a new kind of massage therapy in Denver? Whether you are looking to relieve stress or seeking massage for pain relief, you should consider the benefits of Craniosacral therapy. Craniosacral therapy can be useful for relieving stress, pain management, and postoperative care. Craniosacral therapy is a light pressure massage modality that brings balance to the body’s nervous system to promote overall health and to naturally correct imbalances.

The Craniosacral system consists of the sacrum, the spine, and the cranial bones which protect the brain. The cranial bones are attached by sutures that allow slight movements between the bones. Cerebral spinal fluid flows through this system acting as a lubricant and communicative tissue. The flexibility of the cranial bones allows for movement of cerebral spinal fluid which produces a body rhythm that is independent from the circulatory or respiratory systems. The fluid flows through the inner lining of the spine to the sacrum which means that the Craniosacral rhythm can be detected by a trained massage therapist at several sites on the body.

Stress or injury of the body can cause a blockage to the flow of cerebral spinal fluid; usually this is the nervous systems way of notifying the other body systems about the imbalance. The goal of Craniosacral therapy is to bring the body system back to a state of constant flow; this is done by gently palpating the sacrum, head and thorax. It helps to visualize the cerebral spinal fluid flow as a traffic jam; the congestion is slowly eased up by directing cars to the area of least congestion until the flow is steady again.

Due to the gentle nature of Craniosacral therapy it can be useful in any situation that deeper modalities of massage are contraindicated. Clients who have had a recent stroke, surgery or other trauma are able to receive Craniosacral therapy and the benefits of the healing touch in their recovery. Allowing the cranial bones to align properly and even distribution of cerebral spinal fluid will promote faster healing and a higher level of comfort during the recovery process.

Craniosacral therapy can also be helpful for chronic headaches or neck pain. The fluid within the spine allows greater movement of the vertebrae and the spine as a whole, when injury or pain restricts movement of the cerebral spinal fluid to the affected area. Once the fluid is brought to natural movement the body will start responding to the problem and allow other systems to release pain and tension. In the case of headaches Craniosacral therapy can release pressure on the cranial bones through work with the cranial sutures. Craniosacral therapy is beneficial for TMJ, migraines, scoliosis, and degenerative disc syndrome.

At our Denver Massage clinic we do not limit a massage to one modality and can integrate Craniosacral therapy into any treatment. We would suggest reserving the first or last 10-15 minutes of the massage session for Craniosacral therapy. This enables the therapist to perform an in-depth assessment of how the body is functioning. After completing the assessment and following with appropriate holds, the therapist can include deep tissue, Swedish or myofascial release techniques to the treatment. Or the therapist can add Craniosacral technique to the end of a massage to achieve a deeper level of relaxation and awareness for the client.

Oncology Massage

Posted on July 18, 2012 by admin

To find the best Oncology Massage in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

Peace of Mind Massage is happy to be sponsoring the American Cancer Society Relay for Life in our beautiful neighborhood park, Washington Park Friday, July 20th, 2012. We will be donating our time with free massage during the Luminaria Ceremony between 9:30pm and 11:30pm.

With the Wash Park Relay for Life coming up this weekend, we are reminded to continue our fight against cancer by doing everything we can to promote wellness and support for those who are fighting the battle against cancer. Incorporating massage therapy into the oncology treatment plan is an important piece of the healing process. There are many massage modalities that can be helpful during any stage of cancer treatment. Often times the lymphatic system of oncology patients has been compromised, constricting one of the body’s natural methods of fighting illness. Lymphatic obstruction may cause swelling due to a blockage of lymph fluid. In these cases Manual Lymph Drainage Massage (MLD) is very beneficial to the client.

The lymphatic system is located just under the skin and can be stimulated with pressure as light as the weight of a penny. Manual Lymph Drainage Massage is a light pressure massage which opens up the lymph nodes and redirects the flow of lymph fluid through the system. Once the lymph nodes have been stimulated and the lymph flow redirected, the system is able to drain the excess fluid.

Due to the light nature of Oncology massage clients are able to receive manual lymph drainage massage during times that deep tissue would be contraindicated; during radiation, chemotherapy and after surgery. Manual Lymph drainage helps move chemotherapy drugs through the body more quickly, which initially can cause sickness, and will help the body recover more quickly. Healthy lymph flow will help distribute immune cells to areas of the body they are most needed.

Other massage modalities that are beneficial to oncology treatment are Swedish and Reflexology massage. It’s also important for caretakers and family of oncology patients to maintain health and wellness with regular massage.

Book an Oncology massage with the writer of this blog, Amber Delay, one of the talented licensed Massage Therapists at Peace of Mind Massage who specializes in Oncology Massage. And please join us at the Wash Park Relay for Life on July 20th, 2012!

How do you relieve stress in Denver?

Posted on June 18, 2012 by admin

To find how to relieve stress in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

How do you relieve stress? You may be asking yourself this question as you sit at your Denver desk job. You may be asking yourself this question as you chase your little ones around your Denver home. You may be asking yourself this question after you’ve finished running or cycling in a Denver race this hot summer. Stress can effect anyone for a multitude of reasons. Stress has a mental and physical effect on your body that can consume your life. If you don’t find ways to relieve stress you could end up feeling depressed, anxious, and lethargic. Pain is a major trigger for stress. Pain can be physical or emotional and one effects the other so a physical ailment can end up causing emotional pain.

Many of the patients at Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness in Denver find us because they’re searching for pain relief from stress induced conditions such as migraines, headaches, TMJD, and repetitive strain injuries. Stress and pain often go hand in hand because when there’s a build up of stress and tension pain is often the result. Chronic pain sufferers have good days and bad days, the common denominator on bad days lies in the amount of stress put on their bodies. For example, a person with Sciatica will go hiking and have a flare up. A fun activity can quickly turn sour when pain is present. Before stress and tension can mount, treat and relieve stress with massage therapy or acupuncture!

What is the best massage modality to relieve stress? It depends on each individual person’s needs. Pregnancy can be very stressful, so prenatal massage should be used through out pregnancy for expecting mothers. Athletes who put stress on their bodies with strenuous athletic activity will need sports massage and therapeutic stretching to be implemented into their training schedule. Those who are sensitive to pain, or maybe a senior citizen might benefit the most from gentle energetic work such as Craniosacral therapy. At our Denver massage clinic we will personalize each session to get the best results. We are trained in many massage modalities and are always learning new techniques to add to our repertoire.

Massage Therapy can help relieve stress almost immediately with instant pain and tension reduction. Acupuncture will help relax the mind and treat stress through out the body. An Acupuncturist will find areas in your body that have stagnated energy. Areas of stagnation are blocking your natural flow of energy in your body. When you are feeling highly stressed you might be able to feel the sensation of imbalance. Feeling stuck or off balance can be very stressful as feeling this way can prevent you from making decisions, moving on, and succeeding in your goals. Acupuncture can help you feel more harmonious which will lead to the inner peace needed to climb upward in the sometimes downhill battle of life.

How do you relieve stress permanently? Well, stress will come and go with people, places, and things in your life. Making a conscious choice to live a healthy lifestyle will allow you to cope with the stresses of living. Massage Therapy and wellness is a lifestyle choice, not just a luxury to indulge in when stress has mounted to a pressure point you can no longer ignore. Instead of letting stress build up and boil over, put how to relieve stress as one of your top priorities. In addition to massage and acupuncture, exercising regularly, eating healthy, meditating, and taking time for yourself are also key components in how to relieve stress.

In Denver there are so many beautiful environments for you to find stress relief. Go for a walk outside at Washington Park and enjoy nature, the atmosphere and fresh air will help relieve stress. Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness is just a few short blocks from Washington Park on South Pearl Street. South Pearl Street is home to many places and events that can help relieve stress.

Massage for Cycling in Denver

Posted on April 2, 2012 by admin

To find the best massage for cycling in Denver visit Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, Glendale, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

The weather in Colorado is warming up and you can tell by all the cyclists on the streets and in the parks. Cycling is not just a great work out for the Denver community, it’s a way of transportation for many during the warm months. With all that work on your legs, hips, and your entire body, massage for cycling is a must! If you’re a cyclist that cycles competitively it is even more important for you to receive regular massage therapy. Massage for cycling will increase range of motion, decrease soreness, and improve performance.

Massage for cycling will include swedish, myofascial release to bring circulation to drained tissue, trigger point release for tension build up, and therapeutic stretching, sports massage techniques to improve elasticity in joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Not only does cycling require leg strength, but the positioning of your upper body over the front handles can cause a lot of pain in the back, shoulders, arms, and neck. It is so important to stretch all of your body before and after cycling. Massage for cycling will teach you unique and dynamic stretching techniques to take home and do on your own.

Massage for cycling should be done on a regular basis. If you have a cycling event or just plan to go for a longer time, plan your massage accordingly. Massage for cycling before hand will warm you up, decrease soreness during the ride, and prepare your muscles for the hard work you’re about to put them through. Think of massage for cycling as a work out for your muscles that your massage therapist does for you. Massage for cycling post bike ride will shorten recovery, remove toxic build up immediately, and calm your nervous system.

Did you know that Lance Armstrong has said he gets 200 massages a year? Lance Armstrong is a cancer fighting, Tour de France winning, infamous American cyclist. Lance Armstrong has said that massage for cycling is extremely important for his performance ability. Professional athletes must include massage therapy and other health and wellness treatments in their training regiment or their bodies will fail. If you are not a professional athlete you are at an even bigger risk for injury. Professional athletes have the most resources and an entire team of health and wellness people overlooking their lifestyle. If you simply enjoy long distance cycling, or riding your bike around Washington Park, you may not think you need to get 200 massages a year like Lance. However, you can’t skip out on taking care of your body, or it will not take care of you!

At Peace of Mind Massage, we are surrounded by beautiful parks, Washington Park and Platt Park. Denver itself is full of trails that wrap around the entire city. And, of course Colorado is home to the biggest mountains in the country. If you are a mountain biker, you’re prone to accidents that can leave you quite beaten up. Massage for cycling spans all of the various arenas of cycling; road, trail, mountain, stationary. We cater to cyclists at Peace of Mind. We even have a big backyard for our clients who cycle to the clinic to store their bike while they’re in session.

Peace of Mind is affordable with the cost as low as $50 an hour with purchase of great packages you can share with friends and family. We even have an acupuncturist on staff to help with difficult conditions like Sciatica or Neuropathy, which can deter an avid cyclist from climbing on a bike. We hope to put back together those who have fallen apart and feel they can no longer cycle. We don’t believe in telling our patients, “just stop cycling”. We know it’s a passion for our clients that won’t just go away. We do our best to help our clients manage their pain and maintain their strength so they can keep doing what they love. Our “best” includes advanced sports massage therapists who are passionate about what they’re doing and have helped many athletes of all levels. Massage for cycling is a vital part of being a healthy, happy bicyclist.

It’s always a good idea for seniors to consult with their Doctor prior to massage and bodywork to determine if these therapies are safe in conjunction with medications and certain medical conditions.

There are several massage therapy techniques for seniors that would benefit the aging body(and mind). There’s no stopping the aging process, but there’s holistic ways of managing it. Your massage therapist will talk to you and find out what your goals are and issues, and the session will be personally tailored to fit your needs. If you are a senior who is depressed, reflexology massage could help relax you. If you are suffering from trouble with range of motion, trigger point therapy and therapeutic stretching may decrease your stiffness greatly. At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver we even offer Yoga Therapy, which is a great way to enter into yoga safely. Seniors need to use caution when doing yoga or massage and make sure they are in the safe hands of licensed and trained individuals.

Massage for seniors is important for the emotional support through safe touch. Many seniors have lost their partners and family members and are touch deprived. Massage for seniors is a place of warm, compassionate, and supportive touch that they may otherwise not get at all. The Massage Therapists and holistic health practitioners at Peace of Mind Massage in Denver find so much reward in helping seniors in need of massage. We cater to those who may need a little extra time getting on and off the table. Let us know if you need it and we’ll do our best to provide the extra time at no extra charge or loss of massage work. We even have ADA compliant hydraulic massage tables that lower all the way to the ground for safely getting on and off the massage table. We have a treatment room on ground level for seniors or anyone who needs to avoid stairs.

Massage for seniors needs to be affordable. Seniors are often retired and without an income. In this economy many seniors have to budget everything in order to retire. At Peace of Mind Massage in Denver we have some of the lowest prices in the area. We charge only $60 per hour or less with packages. Peace of Mind’s prices are simple, we don’t charge extra for anything. Not hot stones, advanced modalities, aromatherapy, hydrotherapy, or deeper pressure. To show our love for our senior clients we are now offering a senior discount of $10 for 60 minutes or more Mondays through Thursdays. This discount can not be combined with other discounts or used on packages. We hope our low prices allow our clients to budget massage and bodywork into their lives on a regular basis.

Massage is not just a luxury for the rich. Massage is not just for when you are in desperate pain either! Massage is something people should have on a regular basis for their over all health and well being. Seniors often have some misconceptions or reservations about massage. The women at Peace of Mind Massage and Wellness are compassionate and friendly while always upholding professionalism. We use our knowledge to help our clients get results, and we aim to provide the most relaxing, comfortable environment possible.

How to reduce stress in Denver

Posted on November 15, 2011 by admin

To reduce stress visit Peace of Mind Massage on Old South Pearl Street in Platt Park close by to Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Capital Hill, Englewood, and central to all of Denver, Colorado.

As the holidays are upon us stress and anxiety levels often increase. How can you reduce stress in a healthy way? If you’re in Denver, Colorado, you’re in luck because you can visit a spa in Denver that won’t break your bank and staffs health care practitioners trained in helping you reduce your stress.

Dealing with stress is never easy. Whether your stress comes from work, family issues, conflicts with friends, or the holidays, relaxation is key in reducing stress. Relaxation can be achieved through Massage Therapy techniques such as Swedish Massage which focuses on calming the nervous system with slow and smooth strokes. Swedish Massage is offered at most all Denver spas. Peace of Mind Massage is a unique spa in Denver that not only offers Swedish Massage for relaxation, but we also offer more specialized techniques for reducing stress and anxiety such as Reflexology, Yoga Therapy, and Energy Work. Although Peace of Mind is a small business we offer luxurious relaxation services at no extra charge unlike most other Denver spas. For the simple price of $1 per minute or $60 an hour you can relax and unwind with Couple’s Massage, Hot Stone Massage, and Aromatherapy. Is your stress and anxiety hurting your relationship? Bring your partner in for a couple’s massage and both of you can benefit from reduced stress, increased relaxation, and peaceful togetherness.

At Peace of Mind we believe in offering our clients techniques to take home for reducing stress. We know most people can not afford massage therapy every week, so how do you reduce stress and anxiety between appointments? We promote breathing exercises as well as stretching exercises to do through out your day. When was the last time you took a hot bath? Light some candles, put in some Epsom salt, and soak away your stress and anxiety. Carry aromatherapy around with you such as Lavedner oil to inhale when feeling stressed. Positive affirmations instead of negative thoughts can change the whole course of your day. Grounding yourself before going into a situation you know will be stressful is important too. Meditation is something you can practice to quiet your mind when it is racing with stress and anxiety. Taking time in the morning, in the middle of your day, and before sleep to focus on reducing stress will increase your relaxation and quality of life! If you are completely unfamiliar with the techniques listed above, not to worry, don’t stress! We have skilled health care practitioners who will guide you. We go above and beyond the hour or so you have with us at the clinic. At other Denver spas you are in and out. We communicate with our clients before and after treatment so we may design the best possible treatment plan personally tailored for each individual. We are passionate about helping our clients and getting long lasting results.
