Massage Is Natural Pain Relief
Massage helps fight pain
The human body is designed to heal itself. Sometimes it needs help.
Massage can help by:
- Releasing Trigger Points that keep your muscles tight and sore.
- Increasing blood flow. Blood delivers oxygen and nutrition to tissues helping to heal injuries and maintain health.
- Easing the stress associated with pain.
- Contributing to the release of endorphins - natural pain killers and feel good hormones.
When you are in agony, you don't feel like yourself
Discomfort is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong and needs your attention. Your doctor will help determine what is causing it and the best treatment.
How your body feels affects everything you do. If you hurt you won't do the activities you enjoy and you will limit the amount of tasks you complete. You might not sleep well. You may feel depressed and anxious or cranky. Your body's distress can take over your thoughts distracting you, stressing you out and cause more pain!
The way to feel like yourself again is adding regular bodywork to your treatment plan. If your condition is serious, be sure to check with your doctor first.
The therapeutic benefits you will enjoy include:
- Immediate reduction of muscle and joint aches
- Easier movement
- A good nights sleep
- Feel calmer, more focused
- A better attitude
You may even find that you need less medication. Again check with your doctor.
Conditions that benefit from massage therapy include:
- Back, neck and shoulder issues
- Trigger Points
- Headaches
- Exercise soreness

A skilled massage therapist will go over the information you provide on the intake form and possibly notes from your physician. We will then decide what your goals are for the session.
There are many techniques that will give you the best possible outcome. Swedish Massage calms down your body and reduces stress. Deep Tissue Massage affects all layers of muscles. Stretching allows you to feel tight muscles that are causing issues in other areas. Hot Stones can 'melt' into sore areas and Ice Therapy will numb irritation and lessen inflammation.
