Massage Therapy Benefits

Massage therapy benefits are remarkably effective when used as part of a preventative care program. Some examples of general wellness care include pre or post-natal care (pregnancy), infant massage, stress management, sports training, injury prevention and performance enhancement.

Pre-Natal Massage

A woman’s body undergoes major physiological, structural and emotional changes during pregnancy. For a majority of expecting mothers, they do experience some muscle and joint pain throughout their pregnancy. This is very common.

A massage therapist can relieve muscle tension and pain, decrease back and pelvic pain, reduce symptoms that help improve mood and sleep.

 

MASSAGE THERAPY BENEFITS

  • Improves circulation, which brings more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs.
  • Relaxes and decreases tone of injured and overused muscles.
  • Stimulates the lymph system (the body’s natural defense) against toxic invaders.
  • Relieves pain for migraine sufferers and decreases the need for medication.
  • Increases joint flexibility.
  • Improves range of motion and decreases discomfort for patients.
  • Reduces spasms and cramping.
  • Reduces recovery time for strenuous workouts and eliminates subsequent pains of the athlete at any level.
  • Releases endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller. For this reason, massage is being incorporated into treatment for chronic illness and injury to control and relieve pain.
  • Reduces post-surgery adhesions and edema and reduces and realigns scar tissue.
  • Provides exercise and stretching for atrophied muscles.
