Don’t feel left out… Each moment is important Testimonial ”Acceptance that I was suffering from hearing loss was a long process for me. Research, as well as encouragement from my family, helped me to arrive at acceptance. What I discovered through my research was that getting hearing aids involved several significant investments; financial, psychological and in a trusting relationship with the practitioner. Realizing this I knew I needed to find a place that had not only superior technical skills but also excellent personal skills. I found such a place at Argus Hearing. It is no secret that stress makes you feel lousy. Long-term stress can lead to chronic pain, obesity, depression, anxiety and even disease. The statistics are sobering; we lose more than 3500 Canadians a year to suicide due to PTSD and depression, among them military members. A host of health issues can result from being stressed-out, such as: back pain, sleep disorders, restless legs, insulin resistance and other ailments such as cancer and heart disease. On a positive note, stress is treatable. Massage Therapy is one very viable method of treatment. Massage Therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft-tissues; the muscles, connective tissue, joints, tendons and ligaments. A treatment has a healing effect on the mind and body, which can optimize health by acting on the muscular, circulatory and nervous systems. A professional human touch, in a setting that is safe, can be tremendously therapeutic and is an excellent way to cope with life stresses and illness. The emotional value of touch and the effects on mood are profound to health. Research shows that consistent Massage Therapy treatments have sizable reductions of depression and anxiety. A single treatment significantly reduces anxiety to a very impressive degree. When your body hurts, it’s time to seek treatment. It is important to find a Registered Massage Therapist with the correct skills needed for your wellness. Speak to your doctor to ensure Massage Therapy is right for you. If you are a Veteran, check with Veteran Affairs Canada to confirm you are covered and if a doctor’s referral is needed for Massage Therapy.
