MASSAGE THERAPYfor Top Health S


ince as early as 2700 BC, massage has been recog- nized as one of the most beneficial treatments for overall health. Massage therapy continues to hold its place as one of the most effective, safe and natural ways to treat mental and physical ailments such as


stress, anxiety, depression, pain, injury and other specific health conditions.


Some benefits of massage therapy include: • Pain relief Massages provide pain relief through applied pressure, muscle relaxation and increased circulation. With regular massage sessions you can reduce muscle cramps and spasms, relieve stiffness and prevent headaches and backaches. • Stress relief Massage therapy raises the body’s production of endorphins, which enhance your mood and boost immunity. • Increase in circulation


Applied pressure stimulates muscles and relieves pain as your


circulatory system works hard to pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and organs. Increased circulation improves blood flow, removes waste from muscles and internal organs, lowers blood pressure and improves overall body function. • Improvement of posture and flexibility Massage therapy loosens and relaxes muscles, which relieves


pressure points and give joints a greater range of motion. • Lower blood pressure Regular massage lowers blood pressure by reducing stress- hormone levels that promote depression, anxiety and anger. Being pain- and stress-free allows you to relax your mind. • Injury rehabilitation Rehabilitation is important to the healing and recovery of injuries. As a supplement to standard rehab, massage therapy will help increase circulation and flexibility, relax muscles, im- prove posture and reduce overall recovery time, while easing stress that may be intensified after painful injuries.
