In today’s environment, it is very common to be experiencing pain, anxiety, fatigue, sleeplessness, stress, chronic illnesses and psychological conditions stemming from our overworked bodies. The “pop-a-pill” way of addressing these problems has just made things worse, as we are all starting to feel. There is an absolute need for traditional medicine; there is no disputing that fact. Our lifespan expectancy alone has improved due to medical science. The one thing we lost track of as a society is the need for a balance between living well and medical intervention. This is likely the reason the new trend in medicine is to be preventive before being reactive. Prevention includes many facets, and massage therapy is a very powerful one.
Massage therapy has been a documented healing practice for over three thousand years. It is defined as the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, generally intended to reduce stress, pain and fatigue while improving circulation.
Massage has many benefits for chronic conditions, acute conditions, and maintaining a healthy homeostasis within the body. It can alleviate pain and improve range of motion, enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow, improve the condition of skin, lessen anxiety and depression.
Massage will promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue. Improvement of circulation helps oxygen and nutrients reach the vital organs. Massage therapy will also aid in the recovery or preparation for challenging athletic events. Migraine pain and tension headaches can be alleviated.
There is a powerful endorphin release response that occurs during and after a massage that is a natural mood elevator and painkiller, and the relaxation a massage creates will enhance the quality of sleep, when the body does most of its own amazing reparations.
