Health Talk: Benefits of Massage

There are tremendous benefits to be achieved through regular massage therapy treatments from a Registered Massage Therapist.  Whether your need is a moment of relaxation, reduction of muscle tension or relief from chronic pain, a therapeutic massage can enhance your overall sense of emotional and physical well-being.

Massage therapy can be used for the treatment of both acute and chronic conditions. RMTs can work with a wide variety of patients, of all ages, in the treatment of illness, injury rehabilitation and disability.

Regular visits with your therapist can help with more than just muscle tension and relieving stress. Massages help regular the fluids in your body so no swelling occurs. This is very important for anyone who does repetitive motions or who sits for a long period of time. Fluids can accumulate in joints that can cause pain. This is also a great benefit to anyone who has poor circulation or is often cold. Circulating your blood and fluids can create a warmer body.

For some people, moving your joints can be very tasking at times when injured and are unable to get some mobility back because of the buildup of scar tissue. Your massage therapist can help you regain that mobility and remove the scar tissue from your joints giving you relief and more range of motion.
