Therapeutic massage has been used for thousands of years as a natural pain relief solution. We use massage therapy in our Olympia office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that TJ Delorie provides. Massage therapy does much more than just feel great. It also offers many positive effects as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are some of the proven benefits:
- Pain reduction (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
- Increased range of motion and mobility
- Improved cardiovascular function
- Greater immune system function
- Enhanced sports performance
- Decreased depression or anxiety
- Higher levels of energy
- Lower levels of fatigue
- Reduced insomnia
- Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
- Fewer stretch marks
- Reduced scar tissue
Benefits such as these have been seen to be extremely helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Therapeutic massage has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with hypertension, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have improved levels of weight gain.
