The Benefits of Massage Therapy
Massage therapy addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension, which experts believe, accounts for 80-90% of disease.
Massage therapy has many physiological effects, including:
- Increased circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs
- Stimulation of the lymph system, helping the body to release stored toxins, acting as a natural defense
- Relaxing and softening injured and overused muscles
- Reduced spasms and cramping
- Increased joint flexibility
- The releasing of endorphins, the body's natural painkiller
- Improvement of the appearance of cellulite
- Reduction of post-surgery adhesions and edema and reduction and realignment of scar tissue after healing has occurred
- Improved range of motion and decreased low back pain and discomfort
- Relief of pain for arthritis, tendonitis, and migraine sufferers
How Often Should I Receive a Massage
Ideally once a month for personal well being would be best. For athletic and active individuals, more frequent visits are recommended. Injuries or problems areas should be addressed on an individual basis.
