New Academic Year Boosts Massage Sales As Students Seek Relief to Tension Reports ThriveHealingMassage.com

Seattle, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/19/2012 -- Going back to college can result in a steep rise in the demand for massages at Iowa City spas. Therapists working at the local businesses claimed that they normally witness a rise in the quantity of customers in the week preceding the beginning of regular classes. They note a similar rise during the first week of schools starting as well.

Research and experience have shown massages to be an excellent means towards relieving stress as well as dealing with the problems associated with the burdens of exams.

A college graduate claims that she has also witnessed a spike in the quantity of both professors and instructors coming to her as classes began at the University of Iowa. The graduate has also noted a large number of loyal students as her clientele. She has regulars who come in every alternate week for their sessions. With a simple half-hour massage, their stress can be effectively managed without straining their pockets.

Another nearby salon also experienced a surge in the number of customers during the aforementioned timeframe. The spa has numerous graduate students coming in all through the academic year; however, the start of school pulls in new throngs of undergraduates as well. University of Iowa freshman, Kayla Miller, received a massage in her hometown of Dubuque before travelling to Iowa City. She stated that she would suggest the treatment to everyone she knows.

Miller said part of the reason for getting a massage was to relieve stress. According to the Mayo Clinic, some studies have proven massages are useful for managing anxiety, depression, stiffness, blood pressure, sports-related injuries, and even cancer treatment.
