We know that there are many benefits to massage therapy.  One main benefit is relaxation but there is much more than that. Here are some ways massage therapy will help you stay fit.

1 – Counteract all that sitting – Most of us are dealing with postural stress.  Often, this type of stress tends to settle in your shoulders and neck.  You have a ‘desk job’, you may notice postural stress as pain or weakness in the low back and gluteal area caused by prolonged periods of sitting.

2 – Reduce pain – Sore muscles?  Massage therapy can help with that!  Massage increases and improves circulation.  Just like when you knock your elbow on a table, you rub it to help relieve the pain.  A professional massage therapist will be able to accurately target the source of your pain and help achieve the perfect massage regimen.

3 – Improve Circulation – Loosening muscles and tendons allow increased blood flow throughout the body.  Improving your circulation can have several positive effects on the rest of your body, including reduced fatigue and pain management!

4 – Improve Flexibility – Massage therapy will loosen and relax your muscles, helping your body to achieve its full range of movement potential.

5 – Reduce Fatigue – Stimulation of the lymph nodes re-charge the body’s natural defense system.

6 – Improves Sleep – Not only do benefits of massage encourage a restful sleep, but it also helps those who cannot otherwise comfortably rest.  Going to bed with relaxed and loosened muscles promotes more restful sleep, and you’ll feel less tired in the morning!

7 – Eliminate Toxins – Stimulating the soft tissues of your body will help to release toxins through your blood stream and lymphatic system.
