Massage Therapy Has Many Benefits

Relaxing overused or injured muscles - The heat and pressure applied by massage techniques allows the muscles to relax and heal instead of contract and cause pain. Massage is an essential component of most rehabilitation plans because it helps to relief pain by loosening up the muscles.

Improves range of motion - By keeping the joints limber and relaxed, range of motion can be restored or preserved. Patients that are recovering from back pain and sports injuries often need to increase their range of motion that was previously impeded by stiffness from pain or from an immobilized body part. 

Releases endorphins, which are the body's natural pain killer. Part of pain relief and recovery is enabling the body to heal itself. By encouraging the release of endorphins, a massage contributes to the overall healing process. 

Patients who suffer from chronic back pain typically experience less pain when massage is part of their treatment plan.
