Top 3 Things You Should Know About Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can be a great way to relax your muscles and relieve some stress. But what else could a great massage do to benefit your body? At Heal Sports Medicine, we know that everyone deals with some degree of stress, and that can have a negative effect on your body. Our professional, experienced massage therapists are ready to help you feel better and more relaxed. Here are the top three ways a visit to our massage therapists can improve your health:

  • It relieves pain. Massage is a great way to amp up circulation, which in turn helps alleviate pain. Whether you have chronic pain in your back, neck, or other areas, or you feel a bad migraine coming on, massage therapy can combat that pain and get you feeling much better. Since most of us do not constantly sit or stand with correct posture, we are very likely to gather stress and tension in our shoulders and back.
  • It can help you sleep. It makes sense that a relaxing massage will help you sleep better at night, because your muscles will have already released tension and you’ll feel more comfortable overall. It has also been found to help those with other health issues that make it very difficult to sleep at all.
  • It can help you stay healthy. Massage therapy has been shown to help increase your ability to fight infection and disease because it increases white blood cell count and activity.
