Massage therapy has been used for thousands of years as a natural pain relief solution. We use massage therapy in our Highland Park, Saint Paul, Minnesota office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Robert C Slater, DC provides. Massage treatment does much more than just feel great. It also offers many positive effects as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are just a few of each:
- Pain reduction (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
- Improved range of motion and flexibility
- Improved blood flow
- Greater 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
- Reduced scar tissue
Advantages such as these have been discovered to be extremely 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 hypertension, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have improved levels of weight gain.
