Thank you to the Health and Recreation Center Staff for today’s submission!

Meeting deadlines, taking the kids to school, going to the grocery, cleaning the house, exercising, laundry…the list seems to go on and on. Does this sound familiar? Prioritizing your health and time for self-care is crucial when it comes to keeping your stress levels down and energy levels up. When it seems like there is too much on your plate, your brain can sense your stress levels. Stress causes your heart rate and blood pressure rise, and your muscles to tighten. Feelings of stress that continue for long periods can have a detrimental effect on the body.

One proven way to reduce stress, calm your mind and relax is massage therapy. The Butler HRC has 5 licensed massage therapists onsite who offer 60 and 90-minute sessions. Massage techniques offered include deep tissue, thai yoga, sports, Swedish and trigger point. Schedule an appointment before work, during lunch or after work to help relax your mind, increase circulation, and decrease muscle tension. You will feel rejuvenated and ready to take on your to-do list! For more information regarding pricing, scheduling and our massage therapists, please visit https://www.butler.edu/massage.
