Benefits of Massage
Alleviate low-back pain, Improve range of motion
Studies show that patients who received regular massages used less pain medication and spent less time immobilized than back-pain sufferers who received traditional medical care without massage therapy.
Relieve headaches, reduce stress and anxiety, lessen depression
The relaxing effects of massage not only relieves tension and lifts your mood, but focusing on the sensation of relaxation helps the nervous system to calm, your breathing to slow and deepen, and therefore helps to restore a sense of well-being and energy.
Improve muscle flexibility, Increase range of motion
Athletes of any level benefit from using massage therapy to prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts or intense competitions. The pressure of massage helps to improve blood flow and increase muscle temperature to help stretch, relax and soften injured, tired and overused muscles.
Alleviate emotional and physical pressure
Massage therapy also helps ease the emotional and physical pressure that accompanies cancer treatment. Reducing the pain, stress and anxiety during a serious medical condition can aid during the recovery process.
Fight infection, promote faster healing
Massage therapy helps your body fight off infection and promote faster healing from injury and illness by improving the circulation of blood throughout the body’s circulatory system. The lymphatic system, a body’s natural defense system against disease and immunity, also benefits from an increased lymph flow.
Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ, the skin
The increased blood flow throughout the body promotes tissue regeneration which not only reduces scar tissue and stretch marks, but also tones the skin. This is especially beneficial to post surgical patients to reduce post surgery adhesions and swelling
Alleviate the common discomforts of pregnancy
Massage therapy during pregnancy will not only reduce anxiety, but will also help soothe common discomforts associated with the skeletal and circulatory systems that are brought on by hormonal shifts during pregnancy.
