Benefits of Massge Therapy:

1. Massage relieves pain. 

Dr. McNulty as well as our Physical Therapist, Joy Rosenstein both understand that one of the benefits of massage is the pain relief it can provide. In the hands of a skilled Massage Therapist working under clinical conditions, someone suffering from chronic pain or certain types of injury can experience immediate, partial, or temporary relief. Check with Dr. McNulty or Joy if you have chronic pain or discomfort about possible benefits of massage. Often times massage can be used in conjunction with physical therapy, hydrotherapy, and medication to manage injury-related pain.

2. Massage eases tension.  

Physical tension caused by standing at your job all day or carrying umpteen bags of junk out of the basement can be relieved by getting a massage to relax those worn muscles and limbs. You’ll feel so good afterwards that you won’t put off cleaning the basement so long the next time.

3. Massage relaxes inflamed muscles. 

If you play sports or workout, chances are there will be times when you overdo it or perhaps pull a muscle that has not warmed up properly.  Consider getting a massage to ease the tension and soreness of limbs damaged by sports-related injuries. Check with Dr. McNulty and always let the Massage Therapist know before getting a massage if you have a muscle injury.

4. Massage improves circulation.

Whether you’re feeling sluggish, have been doing too much deskwork, or don’t get enough exercise, a massage can help to stimulate your body tissues and improve circulatory flow. For some people, massage can lower blood pressure and improve pulse rates to actually contribute to overall improved health.
 
5. Massage reduces stress.
 
A whole-body massage can relax those stiff muscles that may be causing tension headaches. It can help to free your mind of stressful events or difficult emotions, at least temporarily. Having a massage puts the focus on you and the present, taking it from problems and the past or future. You can escape challenges and problems by languishing in the care of a trained masseuse whose firm hands will roll the tension right out of your body.
 
6. Massage provides a welcome respite.
 
Let’s face it: few people take adequate care of themselves. Many women are caregivers, looking after children, aging adults, and their own careers or relationships. All of these things can be demanding, so escaping to the Back & Body Health Center and getting a massage is a terrific way to step into another world, at least briefly, to enjoy the luxury and comfort. Afterward, you’ll be ready to re-enter the everyday world of stress and strain because you have stepped outside temporarily to take a breather.

7. Massage enhances your mood.
 
Releasing feel-good endorphins into your system, massage creates a sense of well being that can make anyone feel better. It’s hard to stay in a bad mood when a professional Massage Therapist is working on your body in a way that releases natural substances from the brain that evoke a pleasurable response. Plus, just getting away from the hectic pace of everyday life and enjoying a personal indulgence can give you a calmer, happier frame of mind.

8. Massage is a way to pamper yourself.
 
Many joys in life come from paying attention to personal needs and making time to do things that we usually have to forego. Massage is a luxury for many people, given the time and cost factors that can burden a tight budget.
So when you do make time to have a massage, you will feel truly pampered, savoring the mental break that comes with escaping everyday duty to enjoy personal attention in the hands of a professional. Find a couple hours in your schedule to relax and enjoy the attention of a competent masseuse.

9. Massage makes a great gift for others and lets the giver feel good.
 
If you are looking for a special gift to give someone for a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or another special event, consider a gift certificate for a massage. Hardly anyone can turn down a gift like that, with all the benefits of message that provide a relaxing experience. The gift of a massage is great for men and women of all ages and backgrounds. If you’re lucky, you may get the same gift in return.

10. Massage can be rejuvenating.
 
At various points in life, you may feel run-down, overwhelmed, or bored from the daily routine. When you get a massage, your body and mind wake up! Even though the massage feels totally relaxing, by the time you leave, you will feel more alert and fresh than you have in a long time. By stimulating the brain and the body, massage rids your body of distractions and helps you get in tune with feelings both physical and emotional, regenerating sapped power reserves to give you energy for the rest of the day.
 
11. Massage provides expert handling of your minor bodily aches and pains.
 
In addition to addressing sports injuries or accident traumas, even minor aches and pains due to aging or a sedentary lifestyle can be eased with massage. Mild arthritic discomfort may be diminished with a massage at the Back & Body Health Center by our experienced staff. Stiff, underused, or overused limbs may benefit from professional massage.

The benefits of massage encompass many areas of life, from physical to emotional, and even social needs. You can get a massage by yourself for a getaway from a dull routine or hectic schedule. Massage is much more than a touch; it can enhance your life in ways you never dreamed, so don’t wait too long to find out for yourself about the many diverse and exciting benefits of massage.
