Benefits of Massage and Bodywork
Receiving regular massage and bodywork helps to reduce pain through the release of chronic muscular tension, increased joint flexibility and stability, improved posture, and release of trigger points and adhesions. Massage therapy can promote faster healing of injured tissue through improved circulation to affected areas, and reduced inflammation and edema. On an emotional and mental level, massage is beneficial in that it creates a space for you to ground yourself so you are able to process events, while gently inviting focused awareness. Overall, massage boosts immune function, enhances energy, can reduce blood pressure and is an invaluable component of any stress management program. In addition to specific health applications, massage and bodywork are known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, stimulate and soothe the nervous system, and create an overall sense of well-being.
