How will massage benefit me?

If the phrase “self care” isn’t enough for you, lets break it down into science. You have approximately 1000 nerve ending in one square inch of skin, therapeutic touch by a LMT is the most basic and efficient communicator between you and the pain you are feeling. Massage therapy promotes blood flow into otherwise unhealthy muscle tissue which stimulates healing and flushes away toxins. Adhesions and trigger points, commonly referred to as “KNOTS” also build within the muscle tissue. Breaking up the adhesions and releasing the trigger points can be achieved by different massage techniques performed by a license professional.

Tight, tense, and unhealthy muscle tissue are just the first few components in a cascade of major chronic and acute pain pathologies to follow. Massage therapy can not only play a part in treatment but can play an even bigger role in preventing further injury and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

While nutrition, posture, exercise, and stretching are key components in maintaining a healthy, pain-free life, our bodies often require more specialized care to keep up with the day to day demands of our modern lifestyles. Chiropractic and Massage can push you through the threshold of barely making it to keeping you on top.

Beyond just the physical benefits, regular massage therapy also benefits our mental well being. With the stressful daily demands that life brings, massage therapy sessions relax the mind and provide the mental break that we need to have a healthy and well balanced quality of life.
