Massage Therapy: Pain Relief, Relaxation and Much More

 You may know that massage therapy is helpful to relieve tight back, neck and shoulder pain, and is a great way to bring down your stress level with relaxation techniques. But did you know that massage therapy is also helpful to treat a wide range of conditions and should be an important part of maintaining your good health? Including massage therapy can help get you started on your way to a healthy balance between mind and body. The Woodhouse Day Spa incorporates a technique we call Touch with Intent Technique. This technique means that rather than simply applying the product to the face or body, we select key receptor areas, either neurological, circulatory, or pressure points and energy lines to enhance the application.  This is a gentle, but firm touch, a wave-like pumping motion to stimulate lymphatic flow, or direct pressure, we use a great deal of focus on our intention and communicate our message to the guests. 

You are already aware of the many benefits massage provides, continue exploring the various types of massage therapy as an important part of achieving your health goals. Massage therapy promotes relaxation, restful sleep and helps to manage stress, giving relief to many chronic pain conditions, insomnia and anxiety. 

Back Pain

Back, neck and shoulder pain is probably the main reason that people seek out massage therapy for relief. Experienced massage therapists can help determine areas of tight muscles in your back, working out the knots to loosen up your muscles and lessen your back strain.

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is managed in a number of different ways depending on the type of pain or known causes. Massage therapy is often an important part of non-addictive pain management and can provide long-lasting relief. Chronic pain contributes to additional conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, and loss of sleep. Massage therapy targeting chronic pain helps people cope with ongoing pain and alleviates exacerbating symptoms. 

Anxiety

Massage therapists experienced in relaxation techniques and anxiety disorders are knowledgeable in providing a calm and tranquil environment while massaging all your worries away.  

Insomnia

Many people suffer from insomnia and the detrimental health effects that come with chronic lack of sleep. Massage therapy is one of the best treatments for insomnia, promoting full-body feelings of relaxation that contribute to a quality night’s sleep. Massage therapy is beneficial to promote and restore natural sleep patterns without the use of medication. People who suffer from sleep problems and start massage therapy feel more relaxed and fall asleep quicker and into a more restful, deeper sleep. 

Massage Therapy Treats Many Other Conditions

Including massage therapy into your health and wellness provides relief to many pain and stress-related conditions, but you may not be aware that massage therapy is also effective in treating many other conditions.  Massage therapy can help give relief of symptoms to people suffering from:

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Digestive disorders
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Sports injuries
  • Temporomandibular joint pain
