Do you suffer from Post Christmas Blues

Some people wake up on the morning of December 26th with the feeling of little melancholy hence the hard work,excitement and anticipation of the Christmas holiday are over. Men and women who try to create their own version of the perfect Christmas from beautifully wrapped gifts to gourmet dinners to elegant cocktail parties often fall the lowest and quickest into a severe post-holiday depression. Exhaustion may overwhelm them. The emotional aspect of a post-Christmas letdown often comes with a deep fatigue from losing sleep, eating a poor diet and imbibing in more alcohol than usual.

There is no single answer on how to combat post-Christmas depression, but studies show that routine massage therapy will help alleviate after Christmas blues or keep them from happening in the first place. Just like a sigh resets our breathing patterns when we are stressed and overtaxed, a massage resets our mental and physical balance, improves our sense of well-being and gives our bodies gentle, therapeutic contact that can calm our nerves and elevate our moods.

Beyond the healthy benefits of a professional massage, let’s not forget that it feels magnificent. In one study, people who experienced routine massages during the months of December and January reported that massages helped them to relax, stay balanced and aided in handling and recovering from the stress and pressure of the December holidays. The Mayo Clinic includes “getting a massage” in an article on how people can combat holiday and post-holiday depression. Massages help you to reflect on the value of balance, serenity ,and health even during these highly social and busy times.

Perhaps you’ve even thought of incorporating weekly massages into your before and after Christmas schedule, but you can’t figure out when you’d have the time to race out to a wellness spa when you are so busy.
