Massage is an ancient art that has been used throughout human history and for good reason. Massage therapy offers many benefits including stress relief, reduced pain, and increased energy. Massage combined with other alternative medicine techniques can provide the overall wellness you have been seeking.
Stress Relief
Massage is an ideal way to relieve stress that is expressed on both a physical and an emotional level. Have you ever noticed that when you’re stressed, you can actually feel it in your body? This is because stress and the body are intertwined. Emotional stress can actually harbor itself in the body, creating physical tension and soreness. Massage can help with releasing tension in the body and helping it get back to a more natural and relaxed state.
Similarly, massage can help reduce emotional stress. Given the relaxing environment, anxiety and worry tend to lessen, allowing you to breathe and feel more at ease. Proper breathing helps increase circulation and energy flow. Massage therapy promotes overall relaxation and relief for the body, mind, and spirit.
Pain Reduction
Prolonged stress and injuries can lead to intense physical pain. Fortunately, massage is a great way to significantly reduce body pain. Lower back pain, migraines, and sharp aches can reduce in intensity through massage. Targeted massages work well for athletes who may have overextended themselves and for individuals who may just need special attention in a certain area on their bodies. Whether you are an athlete who needs stretching and release, or you have a chronic history of lower back pain, massage can help.
Increased Energy
Massage improves energy. By releasing stored energy and increasing circulation, you will feel more energetic and lightweight. Moreover, you will feel a sense of freeness and well-being. The feeling of increased energy can be long-lasting, because massage promotes healthy sleep cycles. With proper sleep and rest, increased energy can linger for many days and even weeks after receiving a massage.
Works Well with Other Therapies and Treatments
Massage works well with other therapies and treatment modalities. Specifically, in combination with other treatments, massage can offer benefits that are even more powerful. For example, individuals with chronic pain may benefit from a combination of massage and naturopathic medicine to resolve the core cause of their pain.
Naturopathic medicine and massage are both designed to encourage the body to heal itself. In conjunction, the two treatments can eliminate chronic symptoms and get you back on the path of feeling pain-free.
Overall, massage therapy is a great method for providing stress relief, reducing pain, and increasing energy. Regardless of your needs, massage can be beneficial. Used in conjunction with other healing modalities offered at Synergy Wellness Center, massage can put you back on the path to ultimate well-being.
