Health Benefits of Therapeutic Massage
- Reduce Pain
Massage reduces pain and stiffness in muscles by breaking up fibrous tissue through kneading and stretching motions and manipulation of joints.
Massage is used to treat pain associated with various medical conditions, such as:
- Arthritis
- Migraines
- Whiplash
- Post-surgery
- Chronic back pain
- Cancer and treatment side effects
- Improve Muscle Function
Sports massage is used to help muscles recover from workouts or specific sports. Massage techniques can help loosen soft tissues, remove acids, and increase blood flow, helping muscles heal.
- Relax
Massage therapy is commonly understood to be a way of reducing stress. It can reduce blood pressure by relaxing constrictions on the blood vessels. It also stimulates nerves and may promote the release of neurotransmitters which can relieve depression and anxiety.
