Massage has many benefits and we believe everybody deserves to choose it as part of their health and well being.
Massage is generally considered part of complementary and integrative medicine.
It’s increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.
Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for pain and muscle tension.
Some studies have found massage may also be helpful for:
- Anxiety
- Digestive disorders
- Fibromyalgia
- Headaches
- Insomnia related to stress
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Soft tissue strains or injuries
- Sports injuries
Massage can also assist in boosting immunity, reduction of stress, correct postural issues, increase joint flexibility and mobility, and improve sleep and concentration.
Beyond the benefits for specific conditions or diseases, some people enjoy massage because it often produces feelings of caring, comfort and connection.
Research has shown that massage has a direct impact on lowering the levels of stress hormones that create the “fight-or-flight” response, and can boost “feel good” neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin.
We strongly believe Massage is a therapy EVERY BODY should add to their self-care program.
