Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension, which, experts believe, accounts for 80% - 90% of disease. Massage has been proven beneficial in treating cancer-related fatigue, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, low back pain, immunity suppression, spinal cord injury, autism, post-operative surgery, age-related disorders, infertility, eating disorders, smoking cessation, and depression, to name just a few. Massage has many physiological effects, such as:

• Decrease stress
• Increased circulation
• Removal of toxins and waste products causing pain
• Reduction in recovery time from injuries
• Softening of the connective tissue, resulting in more relaxed muscles
• Breaking of the pain-tension cycle
• Increased flexibility and joint mobility
• Better muscular balance
• Reduce anxiety and depression
