During the cold, jittery months of December, January, and February, Flagstaff is all about winter
sports, building snowmen, passing through all of the holiday lights and gathering around with
people we love. The holidays are truly a spectacular, magical period of time that allow us to
reflect on the past year while also generating hope for the future; as we’re thinking about what
type of gift we’d like to give those we love this holiday season, perhaps it’s time to consider
something not only practical, but incredibly beneficial for the mind, body and spirit – something
our loved ones need but may not be thinking about getting for themselves.

Massage Therapy: A Practice That’s Much Needed, But Often Neglected

According to previous studies conducted by the American Massage Therapy Association
(AMTA), only about 19% of Americans between 2017 and 2018 received at least one massage,
and only 31% of adult Americans received a massage in the past five years of their lives.

People who’ve sought out massage therapy in the past have done so for some very valid
reasons:
  •  For health reasons, such as for pain management, injury rehabilitation or to improve
           their overall wellness
  • To help them better manage soreness, stiffness and muscle spasms
  •  To find relief from pain, which could’ve been caused by sports injuries, accidents, stress
            and more
  •  For enhanced relaxation in a busy world

As friends and family members are skiing, sledding, and getting actively involved in the heaps of
snow that winter provides us, it’s quite likely that their bodies are reaping the repercussions –
and the fun can quickly end if they fall, slip, trip, or find themselves aching after such strenuous
activities. With all that time out in the cold, massage therapy can bring loved ones a great sense
of relief.

Holiday Tip: Provide Your Loved Ones with Something They Need

There’s a long list of items that can easily be bought at the store, but gifts that nourish and
rejuvenate – like massage therapy – are hard to come by and are incredibly valuable. Family
members who spend a lot of time outdoors but have a difficult time treating themselves to
something much-needed will greatly appreciate it, and it can easily serve as a gentle reminder
for them to take care of themselves.

For sports enthusiasts this winter holiday season, massage therapy could be the most practical
gift to receive – and if you’re a winter sports enthusiast yourself, you may find that it’s a
wonderful gift to experience massage therapy alongside your friends and family.
