Benefits

Massage therapy has numerous benefits, and receiving frequent massages can be particularly beneficial for a person's overall health and well-being. Some of the benefits of frequent massage therapy include:

• Reduced stress and anxiety
  • Massage therapy can help to reduce stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and reducing tension in the body. Regular massages can help to keep stress levels in check, which can have a positive impact on a person's mental and emotional well-being.
• Pain relief
  • Massage therapy can help to relieve pain and discomfort in the body, including headaches, back pain, and muscle tension. Frequent massages can help to prevent the onset of chronic pain conditions and reduce the severity of existing conditions.
• Temporary arthritis and joint pain relief
  • Arthritis involves swelling and pain in your joints. As your massage therapist kneads and massages muscles, blood flows to your joints, which might provide some temporary relief. Be sure to mention that you have arthritis before your massage therapy session so that your therapist can walk you through how you might work together.
• Improved circulation
  • Massage therapy can improve circulation by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the muscles and tissues. This can help to promote healing and reduce the risk of injury.
• Enhanced immune system function
  • Frequent massages can help to boost the immune system by increasing the activity of white blood cells, which are responsible for fighting off infections and disease.
• Improved sleep
  • Massage therapy can help to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. Regular massages can help to establish healthy sleep patterns and reduce the risk of sleep disorders.
• Increased flexibility and range of motion
  • Massage therapy can help to improve flexibility and range of motion by reducing tension and stiffness in the muscles and joints.
• Constipation relief
  • If you’re dealing with constipation or other digestive issues, a stomach massage might help alleviate some of your discomfort. A 2016 study published in Gastroenterology Nursing found that abdominal massages helped people dealing with post-surgery constipation move their bowels and feel a little better.
