How Massage Can Benefit You

Massage has been used for thousands of years as a natural pain relief approach. We use massage therapy in our Estero, Bonita Springs office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Chiropractic Care & Rehab Center provides. Massage treatment does much more than just feel good. It also offers many positive effects as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are medically documented benefits:

• Pain relief (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
• Increased range of motion and flexibility
• Better cardiovascular function
• Improved immune system function
• Enhanced sports performance
• Decreased depression and anxiety
• Increased levels of energy
• Lower levels of fatigue
• Improved sleep
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Reduced stretch marks
• Less scar tissue

Advantages such as these have been found to be particularly helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Therapeutic massage has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with higher than healthy blood pressure, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have better levels of weight gain.
