ABOUT

MASSAGE THERAPY

Benefits of Massage Therapy

  • increase blood flow and circulation

  • flush toxins out of muscles

  • relax tight muscles

  • increase range of motion

  • reduce pain levels

 

Along with the physical benefits of massage, there is an underlying psychological benefit with the increased production of dopamine and cortisol, both of which are the feel-good hormones of the body.

​

Massage Therapy is Proven to Help:

1. Control stress:
The longterm effects of stress can take emotional and physical tolls. Massage therapy may relieve stress and conditions associated with it, such as tension headaches.

​

2. Increase immunity:
Medical research indicates that massage therapy can help boost the immune system by increasing the activity level of the body’s natural "killer T cells,” which fight off viruses.

​

3. Boost 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.

​

4. Manage pain:
Pain can negatively affect a person’s quality of life and impede recovery from illness or injury. Research shows massage can help low-back pain, headaches, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and more.

​

5. Improve physical fitness:
Elite and recreational athletes alike can benefit from massage therapy. Massage can help reduce muscle tension, improve exercise performance and prevent injuries.
