With an elevation of over 7000 feet, many visitors to Santa Fe feel the effects of altitude. Because the human body functions best at sea level, the lack of oxygen at higher elevations can be incapacitating for many.

 It may take four days or more (weeks for some) to acclimate to the change of altitude we have here in Santa Fe. To minimize symptoms of high altitude adjustment while visiting Santa Fe, consider getting a massage.

Benefits of Massage Therapy in Santa Fe

Massage manually stimulates increased oxygen supply in the muscles and the blood stream. Flower remedies in the form of essential oils can also be added to your massage in the form of aromatherapy.

So, whether you’re here in Santa Fe for the weekend or an extended stay, regular massage therapy especially during the first four days of your visit will be the best preventative to high altitude sickness.
