The benefits of massage therapy are so much more than just relaxation. Studies have shown that massage is helpful in decreasing blood pressure for people who suffer from hypertension and helps alleviate pain in migraine suffers. Office workers, when massaged regularly, become more alert, perform better and are less stressed. Massage therapy reduces the heart rate, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, strengthens the immune system, improves posture and improves range of motion. Sports injuries are rehabilitated much quicker and more effectively with massage therapy. In addition to the physical benefits, massage therapy also provides mental and emotional benefits.
Massage therapy fosters peace of mind, relieves mental stress and increases mental alertness, while enhancing your capacity for calm thinking and creativity. Studies also have shown that children who suffer from autism show less erratic behavior after massage therapy, and burn patients who receive massage therapy report a decrease in pain, itching and anxiety during the healing process. Arthritis sufferers who receive regular massage therapy note fewer aches and less stiffness and pain. And, massage therapy has produced better pulmonary function and increased peak air flow in asthmatic children.
