Health Benefits of Massage Therapy
Control Stress
The long-term effects of stress can take emotional and physical tolls. Massage therapy may relieve stress and conditions associated with it, such as tension headaches.
Increase immunity
Massage therapy can help boost the immune system by stimulating lymph flow and circulation.
Mental health and wellness
Research suggests that symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression (all associated with mental health) may be directly affected with massage therapy.
Pain management
Pain can negatively affect a person’s quality of life and impede recovery from illness or injury. Massage stimulates the body’s natural pain killing receptors.
Improve physical fitness
Elite and recreational athletes alike can benefit from massage therapy. Massage can reduce muscle tension, improve exercise performance and prevent injuries.
Relaxation
Massage therapy is generally relaxing and stimulating.
