The Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage is considered part of contemporary and integrative medicine, mostly performed to improve blood and lymph flow and minimize muscular tension and flaccidity. Massage therapy aids the body by affecting the nervous system through sedation or stimulation to contribute to the healing of various body tissues.

Massage therapy helps reduce your muscle tension and stiffness, which contributes to relieving muscle spasms to help the body relax. It increases the flexibility of the joint and the limb to promote ease and efficiency when moving. Our chiropractors provide massage therapies to our patients to help relieve tension points, which helps reduce overall stress and helps in relaxation. This is also vital in relieving headaches and migraines that are related to tension.

Body massage contributes to faster healing of soft tissue injuries, which enhances your health and skin nourishment. This form of therapy is vital to increase the awareness of the mind and body connection, facilitating mental awareness and general alertness.

For children, massage can help relieve conditions like anxiety and stress, joint and limb injuries, digestive disorders, allergies, post-surgical muscle rehabilitation, and myofascial pain. Problems related to temporomandibular joint dysfunction can also be managed using this type of therapy. Message therapy can be recommended for its many clinical benefits such as reducing psycho-emotional distress, improved pulmonary function, and motor development, and enhancing the immune system.
