What Are The Benefits Of Massage Therapy?​

There are many proven benefits of massage therapy in addition to the obvious relaxing qualities that are demonstrated by the professional therapist we have right here in Honolulu, HI!

After a massage, patients often report feeling tranquil and clear minded. Regular massages can do much more, and act as a helpful partner in your mind and bodies healthcare regimen.

Consider massage appointments as a vital role in your health and wellness plan, and discuss with your therapist a treatment schedule to best meet your needs.

Remember that just because a massage feels pampering doesn't mean it is any less therapeutic.

Benefits of Massage Therapy

Relieving Stress

Massage therapy has been shown to significantly reduce physical and psychological stress levels.

Relieving Postoperative Pain

Postoperative pain can complicate and delay a patient’s recovery, lengthen hospital stays and costs, and interfere with a patient’s return to daily living activities.

A massage can reduce pain, and speed up recovery so that you are able to return to those daily activities faster.

Reducing Anxiety

With massage, your sense of calm increases when your muscles feel relaxed, which will reduce anxiety and the burden that it brings.

Decrease Low Back Pain

Americans spend at least $50 billion each year on low back pain, the most common cause of job-related disability and a leading contributor to missed work.

A massage can reduce back pain and allow you to continue your everyday duties.

Helping Fibromyalgia Pain

Fibromyalgia syndrome is a group symptom that include chronic pain in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissue. Whether it’s from working out too much or just everyday work, research shows a massage can reduce fibromyalgia pain up to 75 percent.

Reducing Muscle Tension

Individuals who exercise, and are involved in athletic programs, enhanced performance, improved conditioning, faster recovery, injury prevention, and assistance in maintaining peek fitness can all benefit from massage therapy.

Enhancing Exercise Performance

Massage allows you to release all of the built-up tension from exercise. This allows you to hit your peak of fitness and to continue repeatedly.

Relieving Tension Headaches

Headaches are stress and mental or emotional conflict that trigger the pain and contract muscles in the neck, face, scalp, and jaw. Massage helps relieve these contracting/tense muscles.

Sleeping Better

It’s estimated that 50 to 70 million Americans experience sleep issues that affect their health. A massage puts your body at ease, which allows for longer and better quality sleep.

Anxiety and depression can be reduced with a massage. Massage can also help with mood enhancement and alleviating the symptoms of depression.
