Chronic Pain Management
A growing body of research shows massage therapy can be an effective part of pain relief and management. This research data, and the experience of physicians, massage therapists and patients, should encourage pain specialists to consider incorporating massage therapy into their pain management programs.
Enhanced Functionality
Muscular elasticity is crucial to sustain a top level of performance without the factors of fatigue and injury. Massage therapy is used to improve your body’s performance by increasing the elasticity within the muscles, allowing them to rebound to their natural state. This is achieved through increased blood flow, elevated oxygen use, and reduction of scar tissue and muscle adhesions.
Healing
Massage therapy for healing is older than any other healing tradition with the oldest written records going back over three thousand years. Hands-on manipulation enhances all bodily systems by improving circulation which results in more harmonious functioning of the soft tissue and musculature, internal organ systems, the nervous system, and the immune system.
Relaxation and Well-Being
Our bodies carry us through the everyday stresses of life and often we can see these present physically in the way of fatigue, lack of sleep, headaches, neck and shoulder tension, low back pain and general soreness. Massage not only promotes circulation and healthy muscle function, it decreases the release of stress hormones and increases the production of endorphins which acts as an analgesic and generates a feeling of well-being.
