Benefits of Massage
Massage Therapy for Stress
When you’re stressed, your body responds physically and can cause a variety of symptoms, such as:
shoulder pain
tension headaches
chronic pain (flare ups in conditions like fibromyalgia or arthritis)
work-related muskuloskeletal pain
Massage therapy can help by decreasing frequency and duration of headaches, managing flare ups, and relieving muscle tightness and pain.
Massage Therapy For Every Season
How can we help our bodies adapt to the changing seasons? Massage will help us cope with a number of physiological problems we may suffer from throughout the different seasons of the year, giving us the opportunity to enjoy activities throughout the year!
Massage therapy can help make you more comfortable, relieve symptoms of common injuries, keep you pain free, and recommend exercises to prepare for an activity.
Massage Therapy for Physical Jobs
Massage therapy is a great option to help people with physically demanding jobs to keep moving, keep working, and keep enjoying their regular activities. Common work-related pain or injuries include:
upper limb pain due to repetitive motion
musculoskeletal pain due to prolonged static work, forceful exertions or vibrations, and awkward positions
low back pain
increased anxiety
Massage therapy can help provide pain relief, keep people in jobs they love for longer, and recommend remedial exercises.
Massage Therapy for Immunity Strengthening
Massage is an excellent support for the immune system. Massage therapy treatments have proven effective in reducing the amount of the stress hormone cortisol and the hormone that can increase cortisol production, vasopressin. It also helps to improve the flow of lymph in your body and increase the number of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that fight off infection. The benefits of immune system boosting include:
reduced chance of contracting illnesses
increased white blood cells
improved mood
sped up recovery and healing times
improved red blood cell count and activity
boosted circulation
Massage Therapy for Sleep
Are you having difficulty falling asleep or waking frequently throughout the night? Massage is a great drug free option to improve sleep quality and a person’s ability to stay asleep. Massage therapy can also help with decreasing pain, stress and anxiety which are leading causes of sleep troubles. Massage contributes to the production of serotonin, the neurotransmitter that stimulates the part of the brain responsible for falling asleep. Massage therapy also promotes a relaxed state in your body. It decreases heart rate and blood pressure which is beneficial for falling asleep.
