What Can Massage Therapy Do For You?

The benefits are numerous and the results can be immediate
for many of your daily health problems. Massage therapy has
become increasingly popular in these fast paced times of stress
and the complications with drug therapies. A personal Massage
Therapist is not just for the super athlete or the wealthy business
tycoon any more. Touch is as essential to a healthy and happy life
as eating right, getting proper sleep, and exercising.

Lets explore the reasons why this hands on modality is beneficial
to those with chronic pain and illness, those in recovery from an
injury or those who lead a hectic lifestyle.

* Massage Increases red and white blood cells
* Improves circulation and creates healthy skin
* Provides increased energy
* Releases endorphins (the body's natural pain killers)
* Improves and relaxes areas of strains, sprains, fibrosis,
spasms, and scar tissues
* Helps reduce edema
* Improves immune system functions
* Helps to stabilize the spine, increasing the benefits of
Chiropractic adjustments
* Reduces anxiety level and restores a calm mind and feeling
of wellbeing

A gentle Therapeutic Massage ( for all ages) is frequently used
to enhance the beneficial effects of other types of health care,
Physical and Occupational Therapy, Post Surgical Patients,
Chiropractic, Medical Patients and Psychotherapy.

Along with proper diet and exercise, Massage Therapy helps
restore the contour of the body by reducing fat deposits. Massage
also help muscles stay flexible to allow athletes to train at a higher
level and decrease the chance of injury.

Eastern and Western Massage

There are many different forms or styles of massage available.
These can be generalized into two categories: Eastern and
Western. The primary difference is in their approach to the body.

Some Eastern styles include, Shiatsu, Accupressure and Polarity,
this work involves an understanding of the body's energy.

Western styles include, Swedish, Escalen, Neuromuscular
Therapy, Trager, Myofascial Release, Connective Tissue
Therapy. These are based on an anatomical understanding
of our body.

Each person responds differently to massage. One style is not
suited for all. A well qualified therapist may blend techniques
from several of these styles into a massage session that is right
for you. To sum it up, Massage Therapy has been shown to be
effective in promoting good health and well being for many
individuals.

Pricing ranges from about $50 - $80 per session depending on
your area. Ask your friends for testimonials, question your health
care professional for a reputable licensed Massage Therapist.
Ask to see credentials. Some insurances will cover this modality
and some Chiropractors include a massage with your
adjustments. Always consult your health care professional before
you receive any type of treatment.
