Benefits of Massage

What are the benefits of receiving regular massages or body work treatments?

*Increases circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs.

*Stimulates the flow of lymph, the body’s natural defense system, against toxic invaders. For example, in breast cancer patients, massage is known to increase the cells that fight cancer.

*Increased circulation of blood and lymph systems improves the condition of the body’s largest organ — the skin.

*Relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles

*Reduces spasms and cramping

*Increases joint flexibility.

*Reduces recovery time, helps prepare for strenuous workouts and eliminates subsequent pains of the athlete at any level.

*Releases endorphins — the body’s natural painkiller — and is being used in chronic illness, injury and recovery from surgery to control and relieve pain.

*Reduces post-​surgery adhesions and edema and can be used to reduce and realign scar tissue after healing has occurred.

*Improves range-​of-​motion and decreases 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.

*Assists with shorter labor for expectant mothers, as well as less need for medication, less depression and anxiety, and shorter hospital stays.
