What are the benefits of massage therapy?
Massage therapy isn’t just about pampering yourself. It has been around for 5,000 years as a healing modality to ease pain and restore balance to the body. Benefits of massage therapy include the following:
- Reduces pain, muscle soreness, and tension.
- Reduces stress and stress hormones such as cortisol (the “aging hormone”).
- Releases serotonin (the “happy chemical”).
- Promotes relaxation.
- Improves circulation, energy, and alertness.
- Lowers heart rate and blood pressure.
- Improves immune function.
What’s the difference between Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Medical massage?
Swedish massage uses long strokes and light-to-firm pressure to promote circulation and general relaxation. Deep tissue massage is more focused on a specific issue or area of the body. It releases tension in the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. Medical massage is prescribed by a doctor. It addresses specific medical issues such as chronic pain, inflammation, insomnia, etc.
All types of massage can be helpful, however, Deep tissue and Medical massage can be an especially helpful approach for the following conditions:
- Cervical and neck disorders
- Upper cross syndrome and “rounding” of the shoulders
- Rotator cuff dysfunction
- Tennis and golfers elbow
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Lower back pain
- Sciatica
- Plantar fasciitis
- Sports injuries
- Fibromyalgia
- TMJ
