Pain Management
Medical studies have shown adding massage to existing pain management regimens provides further comfort and alleviation. Faster healing and overall better health has been reported with the use of massage. Massage relieves muscle tension by enhancing blood flow, which causes muscles to relax and decreases inflammation by activating genes that naturally reduce swelling. Massage reduces pain intensity by diminishing bodily substances that create and prolong pain and improves recovery by stimulating mitochondria, the “energy packs” driving cellular function and repair.
