Three Top Benefits

• Pain Relief
• Enhance Immunity

Pain Relief

First of all, massage therapy offers pain relief by stretching and relaxing injured, weak and tight muscles. Many studies  demonstrate that massage is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension. Also, massaging soft tissue strains or injuries can improve circulation of blood which brings oxygen and nutrients to those muscles and  bones. Joint stiffness and pain can be reduced as the muscles become more flexible while joint movement increases.

Regular massages can fend off cold and flu symptoms during the winter months as massage has been shown to make the immune system stronger.Massage therapy increases the activity level of the body’s white blood cells that work to combat viruses. According to research, massage significantly makes changes in lymphocytes. As a result, the lymphocytes play a large role in defending the body from disease. A lymphocyte is one of the three types of white blood cells in the immune system. Therefore getting a regular massage is part of a healthy lifestyle.
