Easing chronic pain and stress
Do you have chronic pain or headaches? Often, a physician merely treats the symptoms without concern for the root cause. Or worse, a physician may tell you that you'll have to learn to live with the pain. Chronic pain and headaches, whether caused by physical injury or stress, do not need to be a way of life.
Small, obvious things, are overlooked by many physicians. Head pain can come from your neck. Lower back pain can come from your legs. Emotional stress and tension can do a number on your back and shoulder muscles. Yes, when you feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, your shoulders can feel that pressure too!
Massage Therapy: The Natural Escape
It doesn't have to be that way! Massage therapy can be used to relieve pain from musculoskeletal injuries and in fibromyalgia patients. It can reduce chronic back pain more effectively than other contemporary therapies. Massage can also be effective in relieving tension headaches. When combined with education and exercise, massage can do wonders!
Research indicates that massage therapy can:
- Reduce heart rate
- Lower blood pressure
- Increase blood circulation
- Relax muscles
- Improve range of motion
Although therapeutic massage does not increase muscle strength, it can stimulate weak, inactive muscles. As a result, it can partially compensate for the lack of exercise and inactivity resulting from illness or injury.
