Benefits of Massage Therapy:

Massage therapy is relaxing, and certainly feels good, but there are many benefits to massage of which you may not be aware of. Massage increases blood supply, oxygen, and nutrition to muscles, tissue, joints, and the vital organs, and improves circulation throughout the body. This helps muscles to recover more quickly from exertion and fatigue (especially useful after a strenuous workout), and helps to relieve the pain and discomfort associated with muscle tension, fractures, sprains, sciatica, and stiff joints.

Massage therapy aides in the relief of muscle spasms and cramping and helps in the prevention of muscular atrophy. Massage therapy also helps break up scar tissue and is especially useful in the breakup of post surgical adhesions and edema. It promotes a greater range of motion in joints and keeps ligaments and tendons supple. It lowers blood pressure and heart rate and reduces stress, anxiety, and even depression. As massage helps reduce not only physical, but mental stress, it is often recommended as part of a regular program for stress management.

Massage can stimulate or calm the nervous system depending upon what is required by the individual-and thus help reduce fatigue, leaving the receiver with a feeling of replenished energy. Thus, a massage is a very good compliment to chiropractic care. At its best, massage has the potential to restore the individual physically, mentally and emotionally.
