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 has been proven beneficial in treating muscle spasms, neck/back pain, cancer-related fatigue, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression, spinal cord injury, autism, post-operative surgery, age-related disorders, infertility, eating disorders, smoking cessation, and depression, to name just a few. Massage has many physiological effects, such as:

• Increased circulation to all areas of the body, resulting in more oxygen reaching the tissues, enabling them to function more efficiently.
• Removal of toxins and waste products that build up in the tissues.
• Reduced recovery time from certain injuries.
• Softening of the connective tissue that permeates the body, resulting in more relaxed muscles and more efficient organ function.
• Breaking up the adhesions and other soft tissue restrictions that limit natural healthy movement.
• Breaking of the pain-tension cycle, which helps prevent muscle strains and aches.
• Increased flexibility and joint mobility.
• Better muscular balance throughout the body, resulting in effective support for other healing modalities, such as chiropractic manipulation.
