Massage is a wonderful healing modality, not a luxury
Massage Therapy is a wonderful healing modality with a plethora of health benefits! The main health benefit to receiving massage therapy is that it increases the body’s circulation. It increases the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs and increases circulation to the body’s largest organ, the skin.
Because it increases the circulation, massage therapy benefits:
• Increases joint flexibility
• Improves range of motion
• Reduces spasms and cramping
• Relaxes and softens tired overused muscles
• Reduces post-surgery swelling and adhesions
• Promotes tissue regeneration, alleviating scar tissue
• Helps athletes recover from strenuous workouts
• Enhances immunity by increasing the body’s lymph flow
• Relieves migraine and sinus headaches
• Decreases arthritis pain
• Lowers blood pressure
• Promotes deeper easier breathing
Massage therapy alleviates stress and therefore:
• Reduces anxiety
• Promotes healthy sleep
• Improves concentration
• Enhances energy
• Relieves depression
• Satisfies the need for nurturing touch
Consider massage appointments to be part of your wellness plan!
