Encourages Relaxation
Relax. Reset. Repeat. Massage therapy has been shown to help the body enter a relaxing rest-and-recovery mode: an effect that lingers long after the massage is over.
Benefits of Massage
Enhances Post-Operative Rehabilitation
A massage therapist helps the body pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs. This makes massage therapy a great supplement to post-operative rehabilitation.
Improves Circulation
The pressure created by massage therapy moves blood through congested areas. A Massage therapist can causes new blood to flow into these areas, resulting improved body function.
Improves Flexibility and Range of Motion
As we age, joints tend to tighten, making range of motion more restricted. Massage therapy helps keep joints more fluid, making you more flexible and less prone to injury.
Improves Posture
Unlike other bad habits, poor posture can be relaxing to correct. Massage therapy helps reinforce healthy and natural movements, which can get your posture back on track.
Improves Rehabilitation After Injury
Rehabilitation can be frustrating. A continual massage therapy program with a trained therapist can accelerate the recovery process, as well as help you relax and stay motivated.
Lower Blood Pressure
High blood pressure has more misconceptions than nearly any other medical condition. But one effective way to stave off high blood pressure naturally is massage therapy.
Promotes Deeper and Easier Breathing
One of the telltale signs of anxiety and stress is constricted breathing. Massage therapy can play an important role in reliving respiratory issues and training the body how to relax.
Relaxes Muscles
Got neck, back or muscle pain? Odds are, sitting all day at the office is the culprit. Massage therapy gets to the root of persistent pain by relaxing tense muscles.
Relieves Headaches
45 million Americans suffer from chronic headaches and migraines. Massage therapy helps ease the pressure and pain, which can also reduce the chance and frequency of headaches.
Relieves Stress
Stress relief is key to achieving a healthier lifestyle. Even a single massage session from a trained therapist can significantly lower heart rate, cortisol and insulin levels¬–all of which help reduce daily stress.
Strengthens the Immune System
Studies indicate that regular massage therapy can naturally increase the immune system’s cytotoxic capacity–the activity level of the body’s natural “killer cells”.
