Massage Therapy:
Massage therapists manipulate clients’ soft tissues and joints to treat injuries and promote general wellness. They may use their hands, fingers, forearms, elbows, and feet as tools during the session. Massage therapists may use lotions and oils or essential oils and massage tables or chairs when treating a client.
Massage therapy improves circulation by bringing oxygen and other essential nutrients to body tissues. It relieves muscle tension and pain and increases mobility and flexibility. It helps to release myofascial adhesions, and decrease inflammation, lymphatic congestion and scar tissue. Massage therapy helps to clear lactic acid and other metabolic waste, which reduces pain and stiffness in muscles and joints. It also has a beneficial effect on stress relief. By reducing soft tissue discomfort associated with every day and occupational stresses, muscular overuse, and various chronic pain syndromes, massage therapy is effective to enhance your overall sense of emotional and physical wellbeing as well as your quality of life.
