Effects of Massage Therapy on Stress


13 godina 0 1904 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I sure had a nice 1 1/2 hour massage last week. I think every benefit you've listed is true. However, I just like the fact that I use it to treat myself, to say "Job well done." It's another way of bringing the focus back onto me when I've been straying.

Members,

Our focus in recent weeks has been on stress management. The positive effects of massage therapy have been widely studied in children, adults & older adults. The listed benefits from head to toe include:

°    Decreased incidence of headaches related to tension.
°    Improved mood, decreased anxiety. Children with autism showed a decrease in problem behaviors.
°    Improved circulation & decreased blood pressure. In surgical patients, faster healing & recovery rates were noted.
°    Better posture, decrease muscle tension, joint pain, range of motion. In pregnant women it helps alleviate discomfort.
°    Better sleeping patterns in babies, children & adults.

Have any members found this therapy beneficial?
