Understanding the Many Benefits a Massage Can Bring

September 22, 2015/0 Comments/in Chiropractic Blog /by Dr. Kent Ferguson

Edmonton massage therapyImproper posture is a common source of pain, discomfort and even muscular weakness. It can make everyday tasks into extraordinary challenges while making otherwise enjoyable moments filled with aches and pains.

Massage therapy offers a way to treat posture problems while alleviating many of the symptoms associated with it.

Let’s look at some of the benefits a massage can bring.

  1. Invigorating Your Back

Sitting is one of the biggest weakness of the civilized world. It can allow your back to become weak while forcing other parts to tense up.

A massage can reverse and invigorate your back. It can help increase blood flow, which in turn can help your back recuperate.

  1. Reducing Stress, Anxiety and Depression

One of the biggest benefits of a therapeutic massage is that it’s relaxing. You can sit there while enjoying skillful hands working out every knot and kink in your back.

This can reduce stress, remove anxiety, and alleviate depression.

A massage may be just what the doctor ordered to brighten your day.

  1. Easing Muscle Pain

Muscles aches and pains are another common problem associated with posture. Pharmaceuticals can treat these things, but they do not treat the source of the pain like a massage can.

Regular therapeutic massages can help reduce muscle pain and even improve muscle function.

  1. Fighting Germs

Massages have been shown to improve white blood cell counts, which means that they can help your body battle sickness, disease and even injury.

The idea behind why this works is mixed. Some researchers postulate that it is the increased blood flow a massage fosters, while others think there is a link between increased neural activity and a massaged back the foster a better immune response.

  1. Restful Sleep

Poor sleep can exacerbate back problems, but back problems can make sleep poor. By solving one problem, you can sometimes solve the other.

People who receive back massages are more likely to acquire a restful and full night’s sleep. This can give you the energy you need to conquer tomorrow.

Let Massage Treat Your Problems

Massages can foster a plethora of benefits that can make your everyday existence a happy and productive one.
