Massage Benefits
As a Licensed Massage Therapist, people are always asking
me what Massage Therapy can do for them. These are just a few of the Benefits
of Massage:
Stress Reduction: Massage is a great way to reduce
the stress in your life. Not only are the physical effects very soothing,
but there is often reduced anxiety and increased feelings of well-being.
Massage has been proven to reduce levels of "stress hormones"
that can be hazardous to your health.
Pain Relief: Muscular aches and pains are often reduced
or eliminated through massage therapy. Also, when combined with other
types of therapy like Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), Myofascial Release
(MFR), and even Medical Massage, those with chronic pain may get long-lasting
relief. Pain relief from conditions such as chronic low back pain, neck
pain and whiplash, fibromyalgia, lupus, myofascial pain syndrome, migraines
and other headaches, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and arthritis is
common.
Improved Circulation: The circulation of the blood and
lymph are generally improved, helping you to eliminate toxins, improve
immune function, feel great, and promote healthy bodily function.
Improved Flexibility: Massage can enhance tissue elasticity
and flexibility and help increase the range of motion (mobility) of your
joints. Even people with some forms of arthritis can receive this benefit
- Ask your Doctor.
Better Sleep: Many people sleep more restfully after
receiving massage therapy. The benefit continue even several days after
massage therapy.
Better Athletic Performance: Anyone who wants to be better in
their sport should have massage therapy. In addition to the benefits above,
Sports Massage can reduce recovery time from workouts, help prevent injury,
and speed up healing of injuries that you get - letting you make greater
gains.
Reduction of Cellulite: Cellulite Massage can reduce the unsightly
appearance of cellulite while toning the skin for a smooth appearance.
Best of All....It feels GREAT!!
