a massage or other bodywork , one should drink a lot of water to help flush out waste , toxins , and debris from the body . Benefits of bodywork include : aiding in increasing urinary output ; reducing fluid retention ; stimulating the digestive system ; promoting better elimination of wastes ; increasing the efficiency of the liver and kidneys ; assisting toxins stored in the muscles to be released .
Bodywork assists the reproductive system by improving lung capacity , reducing respiration rate , increasing pulmonary functioning , relieving lung congestion , promoting expansion and contraction of the diaphragm muscles ( the main muscle used for breathing and requires intercostal , abdominal , and neck muscles ).
After receiving a Bowen Therapy session , one of my clients reported that , as he was training for a marathon , he had more endurance , better lung capacity , and actually began passing up many runners who had always run faster than him .
The benefits for the muscular , structural , and integumentary ( skin ) systems are widely known , so we won ’ t cover that here . But in summary , many kinds of bodywork are painless and comforting ways to treat and balance the mind , body and soul . They are done as a complement to conventional medicine , as alternative interventions , or for well-being .
With all these health benefits , why would you not want to build different kinds of bodywork into your budget for 2018 ? You may very well eliminate a lot ( or all ) of your co-pays by staying healthy and away from the doctor ’ s office this year . A routine monthly massage ( or even more frequent ), chiropractic visit or other kind of bodywork can keep all your systems balanced and potentially prevent falls , colds and flus .
