Massage Therapy Benefits
 | Increases circulation, allowing the body to
pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs. |
| Stimulates the lymph system, the body’s
natural defense, against toxic invaders. For example, in breast cancer
patients, massage has been shown to increase the cells that fight cancer. |
| Relaxes and softens injured and overused
muscles. |
| Reduces spasms and cramping. |
| Increases joint flexibility. |
| Reduces recovery time for strenuous workouts
and eliminating subsequent pains of the athlete at any level. |
| Releases endorphins, the body’s natural
painkiller. For this reason, massage is being incorporated into treatment for
chronic illness, injury and recovery from surgery to control and relieve pain.
|
| Reduces post-surgery adhesions and edema and
reduces and realigns scar tissue after healing has occurred. |
| Improves range of motion and decreasing
discomfort for patients with low back pain. |
| Relieves pain for migraine sufferers and
decreases the need for medication. |
| Provides exercise and stretching for
atrophied muscles and reduces shortening of the muscles for those with
restricted range of motion. |
| Contributes to shorter labor and reduced tearing for expectant mothers, as well as lessening the need for medication, minimizing depression and anxiety, and shortening hospital stays. |
