(ARA) - The most wonderful time of year is also the most stressful time of year for a lot of people. There’s so much to do, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Not only do you have to shop for gifts, but clean the house to get ready for guests, go to the kids’ school plays, attend holiday parties, and the list goes on. It’s no wonder that by the time New Year’s arrives, you’re so stressed out you need to get a massage to ease your tension.

“The benefits of massage, the practice of applying pressure or vibration to the soft tissues of the body, are legendary and also very real. It relieves tension and soothes minor aches and pains, increases joint flexibility and improves circulation. It also relaxes the mind, body and spirit, and increases a feeling of overall well being,” says Dr. LaVonne Hill, a doctor of naprapathic medicine from Chicago. Naprapathy is an alternative medicine that involves manipulation of the connective tissue -- muscles, tendons, and ligaments -- to alleviate tension and promote fluidity of motion,

She works every day with patients who have suffered injuries and misalignments that cause them great pain, and says daily massage makes a world of difference for them. But few people can afford a good massage every day, or can they?

This holiday season, get yourself, or someone you care about, the gift of massage any time it’s needed with a professional massager they can use at home. One you may want to consider is the affordably priced Jeanie Rub Massager by Core Products International, the industry leader is orthopedic and comfort care products. It delivers a consistent, soothing and invigorating massage every time with its deep-penetrating, oscillating action, which relaxes muscle spasms and relieves tension.

All you have to do to use the device is turn it on, place it on the part of the body you wish to massage and relax. It is not necessary to press or bear down on the handles to achieve the massager’s therapeutic benefits, which can be attained in as little as five to ten minutes in the affected area.

“The thing I like best about this massager is its versatility,” says Dr. Hill. “I use it in my practice every day to relieve patients’ inflammation, headaches, sinus pain, foot pain and even the discomfort caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. Some of my patients have been so impressed with what it can do in the office, they’ve bought one for use at home.”

Individuals can use the device themselves to massage any part of the body they can reach -- the chest, hand, leg, knee, elbow, ankle, foot, knee and hip. A partner is needed to use it to massage the back or neck, to perform a trigger point or pin-point massage.

The device is useful not only for relaxing muscle spasms and relieving pain, but for preventing discomfort as well. It can be used to loosen the muscles during warm-ups prior to workouts, and after a workout to help the user overcome muscle fatigue from strenuous activity.
