Massage Therapy and Its Role in Health and Wellness

Massage is a technique that has been around for quite some time. It is well-known for promoting relaxation and relieving tension, but did you know that it can improve your general health and well-being while addressing chronic pain and other symptoms? Dr. Limbachia and the team at Shant Wellness of Apopka, FL, share some of the many benefits of massage therapy below.

Basics of Massage

Therapeutic massage is a method in which the provider uses rubbing and kneading techniques to address various areas of the body. The massages that most people think of focus on relaxation, so the techniques are applied to more general areas or the whole body. Therapeutic massages are more targeted, aiming to address specific concerns in the body.

Getting a massage can provide many benefits, including relaxation and tension relief. Other benefits include the following:

• Improved circulation
• Improved drainage of toxins, as massage helps stimulate the body’s natural processes
• Natural pain relief, as it not only reduces tension and inflammation but also increases production of the body’s natural painkillers
• Improved mood and reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression
• Improved energy
• Better sleep quality
• Improved regulation of the autonomic nervous system, which can improve overall health and vital functions
• Lower blood pressure

While these are just a few of the benefits, there are more. And each benefit can provide additional benefits. For example, improved sleep can also improve focus and mood. These benefits can build upon one another to help you live a more fulfilling life.
