Combatting Teen Stress with Professional Massage Therapy

Adolescent rates of depression have skyrocketed, growing upwards of 40% in the last 20 years. Boys and girls alike are struggling with what seems to them to be insurmountable stress, anxiety and depression, and teen suicide is increasing at correspondingly alarming rates. While the exact causes for this epidemic are varied, there are ways adults can help.

Over the past 25 years we at The Great Escape have grown to understand the significant impact that lifestyle habits can have in supporting positive physical and mental health. We have also come to recognize just how significant a role professional massage therapy can play in fostering peace of mind and a general sense of well-being. Professional massage can help in reducing the systemic effects of stress on the body, and help diminish feelings of isolation and loneliness that contribute to anxiety and depression.

If you know a teen who is struggling with stress, anxiety or depression and you would like to help, it may be time for them to give massage therapy a try. We offer wellness coaching sessions too, to help educate and inform parents, caregivers and/or suffering teens about the tools needed for improved self-care.
