Massage engenders a diverse set of responses by the human body. The beginning of a wellness massage requires an understanding of your goals so that we can work together to achieve them. Among many things, massage confers the following physical benefits:
- Increased circulation
- Reduced fatigue
- Increased joint flexibility
- Reduced spasms and cramping
- Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles
- Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts and events
- Release endorphins - the body's natural painkiller
- Enhanced sleep quality
- Greater energy
- Improved concentration and body awareness
Research shows that with massage:
- Arthritis sufferers note fewer aches and less stiffness and pain.
- Asthmatic children show better pulmonary function and increased peak air flow.
- Burn injury patients report reduced pain, itching, and anxiety.
- High blood pressure patients demonstrate lower diastolic blood pressure, anxiety, and stress hormones.
- Premenstrual syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and cramping.
- Preterm infants have improved weight gain.
- Research continues to show the enormous benefits of touch, which range from treating chronic diseases, neurological disorders, and injuries, to alleviating the tensions of modern lifestyles. Consequently, the medical community is actively embracing bodywork, and massage is becoming an integral part of hospice care and neonatal intensive care units. Many hospitals are also incorporating on-site massage practitioners to treat postsurgery or pain patients as part of the recovery process.
