Massage Therapy is a type of treatment that is rapidly gaining popularity in the healthcare industry. It is an extremely effective form of physical therapy that can dramatically relieve pain and tension, help to heal injured muscles/ nerve tissue damage, and other conditions that may plague a person’s health and comfort. Here are 5 ways that Massage Therapy achieves this:

Relaxation
When the body is under stress, it produces the “stress hormone”, Cortisol. This can lead to weight gain, sleeplessness, digestive issues, and more. Massage therapy has been proved to decrease Cortisol levels and allow the body to go into “recovery mode”.

Stress Reduction
Massage Therapy reduces stress by reducing Cortisol. The physical manipulation of tense muscles induces feelings of relaxation and pain relief in order to achieve this. When this treatment is continued over a long period of time, you will also experience higher energy levels.

Lower Blood Pressure
Consistent Massage Therapy treatment can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which is very helpful for people who suffer this condition. The reduction of cortisol levels allows it to happen. Continued treatment can also reduce blood pressure spiking triggers including anxiety, strokes, kidney failure, etc.

Improve Circulation
When your muscles are manipulated by an expert Massage Therapist, blood is able to flow freely through your body. This improved circulation will help to heal damage, stiff and tense muscles.

Improve Posture
The primary cause of back, neck and shoulder pain is poor posture Massage. Massage Therapy can help adjust your posture by relieving the pain or tension in those specific areas that may be causing you to hunch or stoop over whenever you are not supposed to.

Massage Therapy is one of the best things that you can do for your body. Other than a couple of hours of potential soreness after treatment, there are no downfalls to this all-natural pain & stress treatment.
