Benefits of Massage Therapy
Regular and consistent massage therapy is a powerful ally in mitigating the negative effects of stress on our bodies:
- Decreased anxiety
- Enhanced sleep quality
- Greater energy
- Improved concentration
- Increased circulation
- Reduced fatigue
Emotional benefits can be just as powerful, and sometimes even more important than the physical benefits.
Research has shown that massage creates specific physiological and chemical changes:
- Arthritis sufferers may note fewer aches, less stiffness and pain
- Asthmatic children demonstrate improved pulmonary function and peak air flow
- Burn injury patients benefit from reduced pain, itching, and anxiety as they heal
- Clients with high blood pressure benefit from lowered diastolic BP, decreased anxiety, and a reduction in stress hormones
- Those with difficult PMS experience decreased water retention and cramping
- Preterm infants demonstrate improved rate of weight gain
In addition, massage therapy and body work can help with the following:
- Low back pain and range of motion
- Shorter and easier labor, shorter hospital stays, speedier recovery
- Ease dependence on medications
- Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow
- Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles
- Assist athletes in preparation and recovery
- Support healthy skin—the largest eliminative organ in the body
- Increase joint flexibility

- Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs
