Why do we get massages?

Why should we get massages? There are several amazing benefits to getting or having a massage. Massage helps to improve both your physical and mental health as well as injury prevention. There are different types of massages you can choose from which will maximise the benefit you are trying to achieve.

Here are some of the benefits:

- Increased circulation

- Stimulation of the lymph system, the body’s natural defense against toxic invaders

- Release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller

- Improved range of motion and decreased discomfort associated with lower back pain

- Relaxation of injured and overused muscles

- Reduced muscle spasms and cramping

- Increased joint flexibility

- Help recover from strenuous workouts and the resulting muscle soreness

- Pain relief from migraines

- Reduce post-operative adhesions and edema, as well as reduced scar tissue

In general you should aim to get a massage at least once per month as part of a comprehensive wellness regime. Overall, getting a massage can be a great way to promote overall health and wellness.

We hope to see you in the clinic soon for your massage.
