The Benefits Of Massage
What exactly are the benefits of receiving massage or bodywork treatments?
Useful for all of the conditions listed below and more, massage can:
- Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
- Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers
and shorten maternity hospital stays.
- Ease medication dependence.
- Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the
body’s natural defense system.
- Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
- Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover
from, strenuous workouts.
- Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.
- Increase joint flexibility.
- Lessen depression and anxiety.
- Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch
marks.
- Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving
circulation.
- Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
- Reduce spasms and cramping.
- Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
- Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body’s natural painkiller.
- Relieve migraine pain.
A Powerful Ally
There’s no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives
we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons
we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage
therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.
Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related.
And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high
stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced
world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress.
This translates into:
- Decreased anxiety.
- Enhanced sleep quality.
- Greater energy.
- Improved concentration.
- Increased circulation.
- Reduced fatigue.
Furthermore, clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after
receiving a massage. The emotional balance bodywork provides can often
be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.
Profound Effects
In response to massage, specific physiological and chemical changes cascade
throughout the body, with profound effects. Research shows that with massage:
- Arthritis sufferers note fewer aches and less stiffness and pain.
- Asthmatic children show better pulmonary function and increased
peak air flow.
- Burn injury patients report reduced pain, itching, and anxiety.
- High blood pressure patients demonstrate lower diastolic blood pressure,
anxiety, and stress hormones.
- Premenstrual syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and
cramping.
- Preterm infants have improved weight gain.
Research continues to show the enormous benefits of touch—which range
from treating chronic diseases, neurological disorders, and injuries,
to alleviating the tensions of modern lifestyles. Consequently, the
medical community is actively embracing bodywork, and massage is becoming
an integral part of hospice care and neonatal intensive care units.
Many hospitals are also incorporating on-site massage practitioners
and even spas to treat postsurgery or pain patients as part of the recovery
process.
Increase the Benefits with Frequent Visits
Getting a massage can do you a world of good. And getting massage frequently
can do even more. This is the beauty of bodywork. Taking part in this
form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy
you’ll be and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year. Budgeting
time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment
in your health. And remember: just because massage feels like a pampering
treat doesn’t mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments
a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, and work with your
practitioner to establish a treatment schedule that best meets your
needs.
