The urban spa feel is complemented by the upscale shopping experience steps away at Kierland Commons and the 28-acre Scottsdale Quarter mixed-use lifestyle center, as well as the enviable mountain views and vantages of the Westin Kierland Resort golf course.

"Residences Kierland offers the comprehensive retreat and respite that renters can typically only dream of coming home to at the end of the day," said Scott Johnson, division president mountain southwest for LMC.

The adjacent airpark – a light industrial and office hub surrounding the airport – is home to 2,900 firms in manufacturing, retail, financial and aviation-related businesses. Airpark businesses account for 70,000 jobs, making it the second-largest employment center in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Northeast Scottsdale is also a renowned hub of innovation in the bio-life sciences, with healthcare delivering a $2.5 billion impact on the local economy.

Residences Kierland sits mere blocks from the east-west Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and North Pima Road (Highway 101) – providing easy accessibility to Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix. The community features an at grade and above grade parking structure, equipped with electric vehicle charging stations.

The community boasts a complete Internet of Things (IoT) package from SmartRent, Inc. a leading enterprise technology company that provides a suite of hardware and cloud-based SaaS solutions through a comprehensive real estate platform designed for property owners, managers, developers, homebuilders and residents. The IoT package aims to establish Kierland as a fully connected community with access control, self-guided touring, parking management and in-unit smart home technologies like smart thermostat, leak detection sensors and more.

Benefits of Professional Massage for Women

Benefits of Professional Massage for Women

There are many benefits of professional massage for women, so why not try one today? You can learn about lymphatic system massage, pregnancy massage, and stress reduction. You can also learn more about reflexology massage.. After your preferred type of massage, you can plan your next visit by scheduling it in advance. After the exercise, drink lots of water and breathe deeply; your body will thank you later.

Reflexology massage: One of the many benefits of a professional reflexology massage for women is its ability to relieve common PMS symptoms (premenstrual syndrome). Many women experience cramping, bloating, depression, lack of appetite, and back and leg pain, and these symptoms can be reduced with professional reflexology massage. A good massage can also ease the symptoms. Indeed, they can improve a woman's general state of well-being.

Studies have found that the benefits of reflexology go far beyond the appearance of a woman's body. Reflexology is an effective treatment for cancer patients, reducing the stress and anxiety they experience. The massage improves blood flow to the vital organs, increases blood circulation, and stimulates antioxidant activity. These therapies are particularly beneficial for cancer patients, as the toxins in their bodies are often increased by a poor diet and lack of exercise. Significantly, reflexology helps eliminate these toxins from the body through improved circulation.

Pregnancy massage: There are many advantages of a professional pregnancy massage for women. While lying on one's stomach for more than twenty weeks is perfectly safe, the pressure on the abdomen can be quite uncomfortable and may increase blood pressure. Massage therapists use tables or pillows to help women relax during their massage. To guarantee the safety of both the client and therapist, the massage therapist should know which essential oils are safe for pregnant women.

During a pregnancy massage, the most important thing to remember is that you are in control. The massage therapist will usually ask you a number of questions regarding your body and pregnancy. They'll also ask about any concerns you have or desired outcomes from the massage. This way, you will be able to decide what type of massage you'd like, how long you want it to last, and other factors. If you have concerns about the pregnancy, let the massage therapist know before the massage so that they can address them.

Lymphatic system massage: Lymphatic system massage is a great way to stimulate your immune system. This large network of tissues cleans your body of cellular waste and keeps fluid levels balanced. A sluggish lymphatic system can affect your skin, causing it to look puffy, congested, and dull. While you may think you eat healthily, there are a lot of things that can cause this system to malfunction. Massage helps restore its proper function.

You should keep this in mind: A woman's lymphatic system is part of her immune system. A healthy system is a powerful defense against infections. Massage promotes circulation and keeps the lymph flowing through the body. By eliminating excess fluid, lymph helps the immune system function properly. In addition to preventing infections, a healthy lymphatic system improves your overall health. Massages focusing on the lymphatic system can improve lymph flow and decrease swelling, a common symptom of lymphedema.

Stress reduction: Massage can help reduce stress in a variety of circumstances. It can increase the levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain, as well as lower the level of the stress hormone cortisol. Massage also improves the elasticity of the tissues. Consequently, it can help reduce the symptoms of chronic pain. Women who get regular massages generally enjoy lower stress levels. Massage has proved to reduce anxiety and depression.

Other studies have shown that professional massage therapy for women can lower blood pressure, reduce heart rate, and improve overall health. One study showed that a one-half-hour massage effectively reduced cortisol and insulin levels in patients. Women with chronic pain and high blood pressure also experienced lower stress levels. These benefits are even more apparent in physically active women. And the benefits aren't limited to women; men who receive massages regularly may benefit from it in the same way.

Pain relief: Among the many benefits of professional massage for women is pain relief. Massage is said to relieve pain by increasing the overall blood flow. However, consider the entire picture. Massage can be uncomfortable at times, and you might wonder if it is really helping you. But research shows that deep touch can help heal injuries and alter the body's response to pain. Massage can be especially effective for women who have tight muscles due to pregnancy.

Overall, the study's primary findings showed that there was a statistically significant correlation between pain levels and massage therapy. Most participants reported a reduced level of pain after their massage. Indeed, they took fewer pills to cope with the pain. They also reported improved relaxation, increased emotional well-being, and faster recovery. In addition, most patients reported benefits lasting from one to four hours after their massage. Remarkably, some felt the benefits for up to 24 hours after the session.
