Therapeutic Massage: A Healing Touch for Body and Spirit
By: Skinfinite Solutions
Are you stressed after spending all day working? Do you feel like you are carrying the burdens of the world on your shoulders? If so, then why don’t you consider a relaxing and enjoyable experience in the hands of a professional massage therapist?
A therapeutic massage is a healing technique of stroking or kneading the soft bodily tissues with a combination of gentleness and strength on the part of the massage therapist. Therapeutic massage offers a multitude of benefits. We already know that it is a relaxing experience, but it also can provide relief for many people suffering from a number of ailments.
The most prevalent ailments treated by therapeutic massage are those producing stress related tension. Studies show that stress related tension is a component of 80 percent to 90 percent of major illnesses and/or diseases. If the therapist is successful at alleviating stress related tension in his/her patient then the patient will be in a better position to receive successful treatment for any underlying condition or disease that they may suffer from.
Therapeutic massage has been known to be successful in the treatment of cancer-related fatigue, sleep disorders, low back pain, high blood pressure, infertility, smoking cessation, depression, postoperative surgery, as well as age-related disorders, just to mention a few.
Below is a list of some of the physiological effects of therapeutic massage:
Softens and relaxes injured and overused muscles
Increases circulation, thus allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs
Reduces cramping and spasm
Increases flexibility of the joints
Stimulates the lymph system against toxic invaders
Releases endorphins, which is the natural painkiller of the body
Improves range of motion
Decreases discomforts for patients with low back pain
Provides relief for migraines
There are conditions that should not be treated by massage. It is important to disclose your specific health conditions to your massage therapist so that your therapist can determine if you are a candidate for massage therapy.
