Benefits of Massage Therapy?

Massage Therapy improves circulation. Heat is generated, which expands blood and other vessels in the soft tissue and brings replacement oxygen and other nutrients to body tissues.

It relieves muscle tension and pain, increases flexibility and mobility, and helps clear lactic acid and other waste, which reduces pain and stiffness in muscles and joints.

Massage Therapy also stimulates the nervous system and leads to a relaxation of the tissues and a reduction in pain.

Finally, Massage Therapy helps to break down scar tissue and fibrous adhesions that may be present in soft tissue from a previous injury or accident, thereby improving functionality and reducing pain.

Why Do People Get Massage Therapy?

People get Massage Therapy for relaxation or for a variety of health conditions:

Back pain

Inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and tendonitis

Stress relief and stress-related conditions

Headaches and migraines

Muscle and related conditions such as spasms, strains and sprains

Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome

Circulatory and respiratory problems

Post-injury and post surgical rehabilitation Massage therapy relieves stress. It helps the body's stress response by promoting the release of endorphins, or “feel-good hormones” from the brain.
