What are the Benefits of Therapeutic Massage?

Therapeutic massage has many benefits—not the least of which is relief from muscle tension and aching joints. Therapeutic massage also:

• Increases circulation, allowing the body to move more oxygen into tissues and vital organs

• Stimulates the lymph system, your body’s natural defense against disease and illness

• Relaxes overused muscles, allowing your muscles to soften and injuries to heal

• Reduces muscle spasms and cramping

• Increases joint mobility and range of motion, decreasing pain in areas such as the low back, knees, shoulders, and elbows

• Relief from plantar fasciitis and other fascia related conditions

• Reduces insomnia

• Improves mood

• Encourages a sense of well-being

• Lowers blood pressure

• Reduces stress and anxiety

• Improves sleep quality

• Releases endorphins—the body’s feel good hormones—and naturally reduces pain

• Provides exercise and stretching for atrophied muscles

• Increases range of motion

• Improves athletic performance

• Reduces scar tissue after healing has occurred
