Pain Relief Via Massage Therapy

Studies have found that massage therapy can help relieve various types of pain, from dealing with chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis to pain related to cardiac surgery and even cancer. This is partially because massage therapy helps your body release endorphins, or natural pain killers.

Massage therapy in our office works to increase blood flow to your injured or inflamed areas, thus speeding the healing process due to getting more oxygen and nutrients to the affected tissues.

Massage Therapy Provides Greater Range of Motion

By working the tension out of your tight muscles and fascia, you will notice that you have greater range of motion, which means an easier time moving around and participating in the activities you enjoy most.

Reduced Anxiety and Depression as a Result of Massage Therapy

A meta-analysis of 17 different studies which was published in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that “Massage therapy is significantly associated with alleviated depressive symptoms.” This makes engaging in massage therapy in our Rockwall, TX office as good for your mind as it is for your body.

Massage Therapy for Better Immunity

Individuals who engage in massage therapy often find it easier to fight off disease and illness. It works by stimulating lymph flow, but also by reducing stress, which in and of itself can lead to a number of different life-threatening conditions.

As you can see, there are many benefits to engaging in massage therapy in our Rockwall, TX office. So, call and schedule your appointment today.
