Therapeutic Massage

Value of the Therapeutic Massage has been acknowledged for centuries. The general population often uses massage therapy to enhance their health and more specifically as a stress reduction tool. For patients who have experienced traumatizing auto accidents resulting in physical and brain injury the benefits of a therapeutic massage are numerous. Many of our patients lack the energy and/or are physically limited to participating in vigorous cardiovascular and muscular workouts. Many traumatized by the accident are not capable to attend local gyms due to limited social skills and/or are shamed by their physical deformities. It is well documented that the human brain must receive adequate amounts of oxygen to assist with the healing process. Massage therapy enhances circulation thus increasing the blood flow through out the whole body. Therapeutic massage provided by a licensed professional myomassologist provides the following benefits:

  1. Stimulates blood circulation, lymphatic and cerebral spinal fluid flow.
  2. Provides relief from stressful tension and muscle spasms.
  3. Drains tissue of toxins and impurities.
  4. Helps reduce cellulite or subcutaneous fatty deposits.
  5. Improves the nutrition of the skin.
  6. Helps prevent muscular stiffness after exercise.
  7. Tones and strengthens sagging muscles.
  8. Invigorating effects on the entire nervous system.
  9. Emotionally soothing.
  10. Physically and psychologically relaxing, refreshing and stimulating.
