What is medical massage therapy?

Massage therapy is a form of complementary medicine that involves rubbing, kneading, and circular motions to promote relaxation and pain relief in patients suffering from a number of medical conditions.

How can I benefit from medical massage therapy?

  1. Pain Relief: massage therapy for medical purposes has been studied in clinical trials and has been found to provide relief for those with chronic neck pain, chronic low-back pain, and those with osteoarthritis.
  2. Cancer symptoms: research suggests that medical massage may provide pain relief, promote relaxation and provide positive mood-boosting effects in those with cancer.
  3. Depression and Anxiety: massage therapy has been shown to reduce feelings of sadness and anxiety in pregnant women especially when they received massage therapy for two sessions per week.
  4. Muscle tension reduction: not only can massage provide pain and stress relief, but it also helps to release tense muscles. A specific type of massage called trigger point massage can help to relax any tight areas of muscle.
  5. Back pain: in a study conducted in 2003, results suggested that massage therapy can help reduce the need for opiate painkillers by up to thirty-six percent.
  6. Headaches: massage therapy can help reduce migraines and in turn improve quality of sleep.
