Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is one of the best known antidotes for reducing stress and relieving the symptoms of pain. It can then lessen stress related conditions that are aggravated by anxiety, hypertension or insomnia. Massage relieves tight muscles, tendons and ligaments by increasing circulation and reducing inflammation in the body.

Massage acts directly on your muscles by applying motions that stretch and knead. It also acts on your nervous system by stimulating muscles to relax. In some cases massage can eliminate the need for surgery or medication. Massage helps to lessen inflammation by increasing circulation bringing nutrition to areas that may have been injured.

 

 

Your Benefits from Massage Therapy

Massage can treat injuries that you may have developed over time and help prevent new injuries. By stimulating the production of natural lubrication, it can help relieve pain from conditions such as osteoarthritis. Massage can also lessen pain from contracted muscles caused by scoliosis and abnormal spinal curvature. By increasing your circulation, it can drain your tissues of excess fluids resulting from surgery, injury or pregnancy.
