So why is massage therapy so good?

There are many different health conditions and diseases that are known to benefit from massage.

Soft Tissue Injuries:

Massage therapy is very beneficial for anyone suffering a soft tissue injury such as a sprain or strain to a muscle or tendon. Massage will increase the circulation through the blood and lymph systems. Increasing circulation through the lymphatic system assists in better circulation of lymphatic fluid, which helps clean out and nourish cells. Improving blood circulation provides the injury with an increase in red and white blood cells, which play a significant role in healing tissue damage.

Massage can also break down unwanted scar tissue and allows the muscle to heal in a more flexible and mobile way. It can also reduce the risks of re-injury in the future, keeping the muscle tissue healthy and strong.

But what if I don’t have a soft tissue injury?

There are many viable reasons why someone should get a massage even if they are not struggling with an injury. We all know that we live in a high-stress society, and most people will have everyday stresses from work, family or life in general.

Recent studies show that massage will reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone) produced in the body by about 31% and increase serotonin and dopamine levels (feel-good hormones) by approximately 26%.
