Therapeutic massage has been used for many thousands of years as a natural pain relief solution. We use massage therapy in our Tenino office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Mr. Kenney provides. Massage does much more than just feel great. It also offers many positive effects as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are medically documented benefits:
- Pain relief (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
- Increased range of motion and mobility
- Improved circulation
- Improved immune system function
- Enhanced sports performance
- Reduced depression and anxiety
- Higher levels of energy
- Lower levels of fatigue
- Easier time getting and staying asleep
- Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
- Fewer stretch marks
- Less scar tissue
Advantages like these have been seen to be particularly helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Massage has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with higher than healthy blood pressure, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have better levels of weight gain.
