Benefits of Massage
Home Up

 

 

These are just a few of the Benefits of Massage Therapy:

Stress Reduction:  Massage is a great way to reduce the stress in your life.  Not only are the physical effects very soothing, but there is often reduced anxiety and increased feelings of well-being.  Massage has been proven to reduce levels of "stress hormones" that can be hazardous to your health.

Pain Relief: Muscular aches and pains are often reduced or eliminated through massage therapy. Also, when combined with other types of therapy like Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), Myofascial Release, and Ortho-Bionomy, those with chronic pain can get long-lasting relief.  Pain relief from conditions such as chronic low back pain, neck pain or whiplash, TMJ (jaw) pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, lupus, myofascial pain syndrome, migraines and other headaches, sciatica, and some forms of arthritis is common.  If your pain is job related you may be entitled to have your treatment paid for by Worker's Compensation insurance plans.

Improved Circulation: The circulation of the blood and lymph are generally improved, helping you to eliminate toxins, feel great, and promote healthy bodily function.

Improved Flexibility:  Massage can enhance tissue elasticity and flexibility and help increase the range of motion (mobility) of your joints.  Even people with some forms of arthritis and Parkinson's Disease can receive this benefit - Ask your Doctor.

Improved Posture: Massage therapy can improve your posture by releasing muscles and connective tissues that lead to poor posture.   Better posture helps to relieve stress on joints and muscles, reducing pain, reducing chronic tension, and increasing energy.

Better Sleep:  Many people sleep more restfully after receiving massage therapy.  The benefit often continues several days after massage therapy.

Better Athletic Performance:  Anyone who wants to be better in their sport should have massage therapy.  In addition to the benefits above, Deep Tissue and Sports Massage can reduce recovery time from workouts, help prevent injury, and speed up healing of injuries that you get - letting you make greater gains.

Best of All....It feels GREAT!!
