About
Massage
TherapyOnce just thought of as a spa indulgence, the
benefit from massage therapy is now known to
be so much more. It runs the gamut from
being a stress buster to a way to relieve
cancer-related pain. According to the
American Massage Therapy Association
(AMTA), “massage is good medicine.”
Demand for Massage
Therapist
We know that medicine’s goal is to relieve symptoms and improve
health. Massage therapy does both … naturally. As more people choose
to live a healthier lifestyle and prefer a more holistic approach to
health care and pain management, the demand for licensed massage
therapists grows. According to O*NET OnLine, the career outlook for
massage therapists is expected to grow at a much faster rate than
average.
How
Massage
Works By triggering an involuntary – but expected
– relaxation response from the nervous
system, massage can produce physical and
emotional benefits. This causes your heart
and breathing rates to slow down and your
blood pressure and stress hormones to
decrease.
Minimizes low back pain
Massage can reduce physical
symptoms associated with:
When inflammation causes the muscles in the back to spasm and
impede mobility, massage can help reduce the pain by improving
circulation, relaxing muscles, increasing endorphins (the “feel-good”
chemicals) and improving sleep.
Postoperative pain
Joint replacement pain
Fibromyalgia
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Massage is good for
physical fitness and can
enhance exercise
performance, improve
balance in older adults and
increase a range of motion
and flexibility.
