MASSAGE THERAPY

Painful muscles and stiff joints discourage exercise, which leads to more pain and more stiffness. Therapeutic massage can help you get back to a regular exercise routine by reducing muscle pain and increasing flexibility.

REGAIN MOTION WITH MASSAGE

Fascia (connective tissue) surrounding muscles become damaged due to inactivity or repetitive motion strain. Massage therapy provides appropriate stimulation of the fascia, realigning the fibers and restoring flexibility.

Reduced blood flow caused by tight muscles can be painful. Massage therapy relaxes muscles and increases blood flow through the use of manual pressure.

Everyday stresses cause tense muscles, and chronically tense, painful muscles keep you from relaxing. Therapeutic massage breaks this cycle so you can relax, which benefits your overall health as well as an integral part of physical therapy.

FAQs ON THE BENEFITS OF THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE

1. Q: How does therapeutic massage help in relieving muscle tension and reducing pain?
Therapeutic massage targets deep within the muscle tissue, releasing knots and reducing muscle tension. By improving circulation and enhancing nutrient delivery to the affected area, it aids in faster healing and recovery, ultimately reducing pain.
 
2. Q: Can therapeutic massage help in reducing stress and promoting relaxation?
Absolutely! Therapeutic massage stimulates the release of endorphins, which induce relaxation and reduce stress. It also lowers cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress, promoting a sense of calmness and serenity.
 
3. Q: How does therapeutic massage enhance athletic performance?

By reducing muscle soreness, increasing flexibility, and improving range of motion, therapeutic massage helps prevent injuries. It also speeds up the recovery process after workouts or injuries, allowing athletes to reach their peak performance faster and with less discomfort.
