Health Benefits of Massage - Wednesday, August 3, 2011

Massage has long been part of what is often described as "Oriental" medicine. The original proponents of massage enthusiastically endorsed its health benefits (see our blog on Swedish massage to learn more). However, as "Occidental" medicine moved more toward surgical and pharmaceutical techniques, massage was left behind. People are coming to better appreciate the value of a combination of treatments, including the everyday health benefits of massage.

As we have come to studying massage, it turns out that clinical studies show massage has significant benefits in terms of:

• Stress relief
• Blood pressure reduction
• Anxiety and depression
• Boosting immunity
• Pain
• Joint stiffness
• Cancer treatment
• Infant growth

You can see that many of the conditions listed here have a significant psychological component, and many of the benefits of massage are beyond what can be easily quantified. If you want to look and feel your best, we encourage you to add massage to your routine.

If you are looking for more than “just another spa”, a place where health and beauty go hand in hand, and treatments ranging from completely noninvasive to surgical are all brought together, we invite you to visit Centre Yourself Medical Spa. Please contact us today to schedule a consultation at our Elkhart or Mishawaka office today.
