My Healing Frequency

Massage is more than just a way to feel good. In fact, massage therapy is a recognized form of integrative medicine, especially for treating chronic pain. Some of the most commonly experienced benefits of massage therapy include:

Reduced stress
Reduced pain and chronic pain
Relief from muscle soreness
Relieved tension
Improved mood
Beyond relaxation, studies have shown that even just one massage session can improve circulation, boost energy and alertness, and help people sleep. Many of these common massage benefits result from lower heart rate and blood pressure during the treatment. It’s important to note that many people feel sore for a day or two following massage therapy. This is totally normal, and the benefits listed above can last up to a full week after each massage appointment.

Getting massages weekly or twice a month can be a great way to assist in minimizing the symptoms of conditions such as:

Chronic low back pain
Neck and shoulder pain
Recurring headaches
Sports injuries
PMS
Fibromyalgia
Breast cancer and lymphoma
Stress-induced insomnia
Digestive conditions
Nerve pain
Autoimmune disorders
While not a replacement for traditional medicine or medical care, massage therapy can be a helpful addition to a care treatment plan. A doctor should always be consulted before starting massage therapy to treat any medical condition
