It’s easy to get weighed down by all the stress in our daily and work lives causing tension to build in our muscles and body.
Between constantly sitting at your desk or standing at your workplace, to the physical strains of workouts and exercise, massage therapy can be advantageous to people suffering from a range of injuries.
Even for those without any particular chronic pain, a massage is a great way to simply rejuvenate and feel completely refreshed.
Relieve Emotional & Physical Stress
Finding time to heal yourself through massage therapy is vital for self care, not only to relieve physical strain, but to relieve mental and emotional stress as well.
What Happens to Your Body During a Massage?
When getting a massage, it stimulates the release of anxiety, stress, and pain reducing hormones (endorphins and enkephalins), as well as lowering blood pressure, slowing your breathing and reducing pain receptors in the spinal cord and muscles.
From injuries due to physical labour or dull muscle pains, our highly professional, registered massage therapists at Beyond Bronze are trained to help ease whatever discomforts are bothering you.
Physical Benefits
Individuals suffering from specific muscle aches, chronic pain, or illnesses can greatly benefit from visiting a massage therapist.
By decreasing pain in the isolated area, your RMT (Registered Massage Therapist) can help improve function and aid certain symptoms.
As an added bonus, routinely massaging injured muscles can speed up recovery time. Massage helps increase muscle repair by promoting cell growth within the body, while reducing inflammation from various exercise-induced muscle damage.
Beyond muscle soreness and obvious surface injuries, other conditions aided by massage therapy can include (but are not limited to):
● Carpal tunnel
● Whiplash
● Scoliosis
● Sciatica
● Torticollis
● Fibromialgia
● Myofascial pain
● Tendon/muscular tears
● Thoracic outlet syndrome
● Varicose veins (improves blood flow)
● Back pain, lower/upper (including pregnancy-related pain)
● Sore or overexerted muscles (prevents/treats)
● All types of muscle injury
Additional Benefits
In addition to the physical treatment, massage therapy also reduces anxiety, improves sleep, treats (chronic) migraines/headaches, and can even help boost your body’s immunity.
After an appointment, going to bed with loosened muscles promotes relaxation and allows for deeper, more undisturbed slumber. By stimulating more blood flow, your body has increased abilities to recharge it’s natural defence system.
Migraine Relief
Headaches and migraines can be triggered by excessive emotional or physical stress in any aspect of your life. Massage reduces this stress by decreasing the body’s heart rate and cortisol levels during the session.
Studies have been proven to show that some patients may feel the effects immediately after a massage therapy appointment for a natural remedy to reduce chronic migraines and headaches.
