About Massage...
In the past, massage
has been perceived as a luxury. In recent years, therapeutic massage has
been proven to improve physical and mental health. As people age, they
naturally become less active. This lack of physical activity can lead to
the onset of other conditions which, if not dealt with, can greatly reduce
their quality of life.
The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork
(NCBTMB) has been promoting the use of massage therapy for some time now.
According to a recent study, there is a general awareness of massage
therapy but a lack of understanding of its direct benefits.
According to the Touch Research Institute, massage is extremely useful
in the treatment of Alzheimer's patients, as it can facilitate relaxation
and communication.
In the case of arthritis sufferers, it can greatly assist in pain
management and help increase range of motion. It also triggers natural
joint lubrication, which is extremely important for those suffering from
arthritis.
Massage Benefits...
In addition to
feeling great, massage provides the following physical benefits:
- Stimulates blood and lymph circulation for muscles, bones and nerves
- Enhances immune system response
- Promotes mental well being
- Accelerates rehabilitation of joint replacements
- Maintains ambulatory status
- Nurturing and healing touch
- Lessens muscle spasms and pain
- Enlivens tired and sore muscles
- Helps relieve arthritis pain and soreness
 Why Massage Works...
When muscles are
overworked, waste products such as lactic acid can accumulate in the
muscle, causing soreness, stiffness, and even muscle spasm. Massage
improves circulation, which increases blood flow, bringing fresh oxygen to
body tissues. This can assist the elimination of waste products, speed
healing after injury, and enhance recovery from disease. Therapeutic
massage can be used to promote general well-being and enhance self-esteem,
while boosting the circulatory and immune systems to benefit blood
pressure, circulation, muscle tone, digestion, and skin tone.
For clinical trial results and other documented case studies proving
the benefits of massage therapy for those with Autism and other nervous
disorders please refer to the following links:
