 Massage
therapy addresses a variety of health conditions, the
most prevalent being stress-related tension, which,
experts believe, accounts for 80% - 90% of disease.
Massage has been proven beneficial in treating sleep
disorders, high blood pressure, low back pain, immunity
suppression, spinal cord injury, post-operative surgery,
age-related disorders, and depression, to name just
a few. Here’s why:
- 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 some 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 reducing and realigning
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 decreasing the need
for medication.
- Provides
exercise and stretching for atrophied muscles and reducing
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.
