Many injuries, accidents, repetitive actions on the job and tension from everyday stress can cause problems which will cause pain, headaches, decrease range of motion, lower your resistance to illnesses, increase emotional stress and anxiety and compromise your lifestyle.
Massage will relieve many types of muscle pain especially the back and neck area where most of us store tension. Muscles can become so contracted that they press on nerves to the arms, hands and legs, causing pain, tingling and numbness.
Massage therapy is safe and effective if used for stress management and it is also widely used to help clients obtain relief from many specific problems, including the following:
Migraine/headaches
post injury rehabilitation
whiplash
respiratory problems
frozen shoulder
neuritis/neuralgia
tendonitis/bursitis
neck and shoulder tension
arthritis
low back pain
pre and post surgical rehab
muscle spasms
pseudo-sciatica (hip and leg pain)
circulatory problems
Massage is not a substitute for medical care but it may reduce or eliminate the need for medication or surgery.
There are so many more benefits of massage and if you've never had a massage before - now is definitely the time to get one!
