Massage has been regarded as an effective treatment for decreasing pain. A massage therapist focuses on the normalization of soft tissues affected by stress, injury and illness through the use of manual techniques. This helps to improve circulation, enhance muscular relaxation, relieve pain, reduce stress, enhance immune function and promote health and well-being. Massage therapy effectively increases blood flow to injured tissues which aids in healing. Improved blood flow can help relax muscles, decrease spasms, reduce trigger points and remove scar tissue and adhesions caused by injuries or an underlying medical condition. Massage Therapists specialize in the use and application of therapeutic massage techniques.
Many clients use massage therapy for relaxation. Massage can be used to reduce stress levels, anxiety and depression, which helps clients to live more normal productive lives. Massage therapy is equally preventive in nature. When muscles are loose and circulation is sufficient, the result is better health and less chance of injury or dysfunction.
