10 Unexpected Health Benefits Of Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy is primarily recognized as a method to relax and relieve tension in the body, but in fact the health benefits of massage are much more far-reaching than that. Our licensed massage therapist at the Lake of the Ozarks masterfully blends several different styles and techniques to deliver a unique massage experience that offers lasting health benefits. In honor of Massage Therapy Awareness Week, we're dedicating this week's blog to discussing some of these benefits.

10 Health Benefits Offered By Massage Therapy

1. Reduces Anxiety
Massage Therapy has been shown to be wonderfully effective at relieving chronic anxiety. By offering a safe environment and gentle touch, massage can allow the recipient to overcome anxiety attacks.

2. Improves Quality Of Sleep
By helping lessen anxiety and stress, massage therapy can significantly improve quality of sleep as well. In turn, better sleep lends itself to calmer minds and improved immune systems.

3. Speeds Surgical Recovery
Though sometimes necessary, surgery is very hard on the body. Massage Therapy can reduce adhesions in scar tissue, allowing the body to maintain the flexibility and mobility it needs to thrive.

4. Fights Headaches
Tension headaches are some of the most common forms of headaches. By relaxing muscles and helping improve their elasticity, Massage Therapy can significantly reduce tension headaches (and possibly even eliminate them altogether).

5. Alleviates Pregnancy Pain
Some women breeze through pregnancy without a single complaint, but others experience a variety of aches and pains as their bodies take on new pressures and demands. Massage Therapy can help relieve the tension caused by these new pressures.

6. Promotes Muscle Health
Considering that there are well over 600 muscles in the human body, it is easy to see why muscle health correlates so closely to overall physical health. By helping improve/alleviate muscle pain, muscle stiffness, muscle spasms, and muscle performance, Massage Therapy contributes to improved overall physical wellness.

7. Lowers Blood Pressure
High blood pressure can be responsible for several serious health problems, from heart attacks to kidney failure. Massage Therapy can be a great solution for people looking for natural ways to lower blood pressure.

8. Enhances Self-Image
Self-image is often the cumulative result of several different factors. By helping reduce anxiety, alleviate pain, and improve overall physical health, Massage Therapy can support a positive self-image.

9. Boosts The Immune System
High stress levels and poor sleep can wreak havoc on the immune system. By helping to improve both stress levels and sleep quality, Massage Therapy can indirectly boost the immune system.

10. Combats Depression
When people are stressed, their cortisol levels increase. Chronically high levels of cortisol can lead to depression. Massage Therapy can help fight depression by reducing cortisol levels and increasing dopamine and serotonin levels (two hormones that help stabilize mood).

Amazing Health Benefits Of Therapeutic Massage

When is the last time you treated yourself to a professional massage?

Many people think of massage therapy as a special treat they should only get once or twice per year. Rather than a normal part of healthcare, massage is commonly viewed as a luxury. While it's true that a professional massage can often be considered a special treat, massage therapy is so much more than that. Professional massage therapy offers several distinct health benefits that should not be underestimated. In honor of EveryBody Deserves A Massage Week (July 10-16, 2016), we're dedicating this blog to some of the unique health benefits offered by our massage therapy services at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Reduce Stress
Most health experts agree that a significant percentage of diseases and illnesses are stress-related. By serving as a powerful stress-reliever, massage can greatly reduce your chances of catching various illnesses and improve your overall health. 

Improve Skin Health
Many people talk frequently about the importance of maintaining the health of your inner organs, but what about your outermost organ? In addition to being the only one on the outside, the skin is actually the largest organ on the body. Massage can help improve your skin health by conditioning and hydrating it.

Alleviate Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common ailments in our society. Whether by sitting too many hours a day, carrying loads that are too heavy, holding onto stress, or any number of other possibilities, many people carry a significant amount of tension in their backs. Massage can help relieve this tension, thus helping to alleviate pain.

Condition Muscles
What challenges are your muscles facing? Different life circumstances can lead to tight, weak, or atrophied muscles. An experienced massage therapist should be able to identify which challenge your muscles are facing and apply the appropriate techniques to promote healing.

Ease Pregnancy Aches & Pains
Even the easiest pregnancy can be hard on a woman's body. Growing another human being requires a great deal of energy, and the increased weight, decreased space in the abdomen, and other factors all come with their own unique stressors. Massage therapy can help ease some of these aches and pains.

Reduce Cramping / Muscle Spasms
Overworked muscles tend to complain of their overuse by cramping, spasming, or twitching. Massage therapy can offer the therapeutic touch your muscles need to calm down and avoid these unpleasant convulsions.

Promote Tissue Regeneration
If our body does not get the nutritional and therapeutic support it needs, dead and unhealthy tissue may not regenerate. Scar tissue is just one example of the skin health problems that may arise as a result. By promoting tissue regeneration, massage therapy may help reduce the formation of scar tissue and other skin challenges, such as stretch marks.

Release Endorphins
Endorphins are hormones our bodies produce that make us feel happy. Getting a massage can actually cause your body to release more endorphins, leading to a greater sense of happiness, connectedness, and contentment.

And So Much More...
The benefits of massage therapy do not stop there. In addition to these valuable health benefits, massage therapy also contributes to:

• Improved sleep quality
• Improved circulation
• Reduced fatigue
• Improved concentration
• Decreased anxiety
• Decreased headaches
• Improved digestion

If you are interested in scheduling your professional massage at the Lake of the Ozarks, call our massage line directly at 573-964-6786 ext. 303. We look forward to hearing from you!

History of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy dates back literally thousands of years, with the first recorded practices in India and China taking place somewhere around 3,000 BCE. Massage therapy owes its longevity and success to its unique ability to work with the tissues of the body to relieve tension, stress, stiffness, and other symptoms.

Hippocrates himself, the father of modern medicine, expressed the belief that "The physician must be experienced in many things, but most assuredly in 'rubbing' - for rubbing can bind a joint that is too loose and loosen a joint that is to rigid."

• Muscle Stiffness
• Muscle Performance
• Muscle Spasms
• Joint Pain
• Digestive Health
• Fatigue
• PTSD
• Inflammatory Conditions
• Headaches and Migraines

Not only that, but patients who receive massage therapy on a regular basis have enjoyed additional benefits such as reduced stress, shortened recovery time from surgeries and injuries, increased range of motion and flexibility, better digestive health, and a more positive self-image.
