An Ounce of Prevention
Massage therapy produces benefits far beyond feeling great during and immediately after the session. While this is certainly an excellent reason for a massage, its real strength is in preventing illness and conditions before they develop.
The greatest change produced by massage therapy is the stimulation of the nervous system, helping to restore balance, positively impacting the brain and body. Massage is also known to reduce anxiety and depression, and can even help in treating restlessness and insomnia.

How Does Massage Therapy Help?
Massage therapy can be used to treat many different conditions by addressing tension and stimulating the nervous system.
Massage can help to balance the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for automatic bodily functions like breathing, heart rate, digestion, and more. Massage can also increase endorphin secretion, which acts as a natural pain killer, decreases pain, and reduces stress.
What Can Massage Therapy Help Treat?
Many different conditions respond positively to massage therapy, including:
- Arthritis
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- TMJ dysfunction
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic pain
- Headaches
- Muscle tension
- Circulatory problems
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Sports injuries
- Motor vehicle accident injuries
Massage relaxes the muscles, stimulates the skin, improves heart function and blood flow, and enhances breathing.
Relax and Rejuvenate
Profound relaxation can occur when the firing of the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight response) is reduced. This can improve oxygen to the entire body, balance hormone levels, regulate sleep patterns, and provide essential downtime that helps bring balance to your body and your life.
Massage can be a powerful gift of self-care, not only for today, but as a preventative measure for the future. Take care of your body today by booking a massage therapy session.
