Is massage really good for you or just fun?

Posted on April 6, 2018

Yes, massage is actually great for you! In fact, 86% of people agree that massage therapy helps them with their pain management.

Health Benefits of Eugene Massage TherapyMassage therapy improves flexibility, decreases blood pressure, improves circulation, and lowers your cortisol levels. Instead of using prescription or over the counter pain relievers, consider trying massage the next time you are experiencing pain from headaches, stress, difficulty sleeping, high blood pressure, decreased circulation, etc. Sports massage has even been found to improve athletic performance!

Many people are familiar with massage in the context of a spa day, or a gift from a loved one to relax. But massage therapy can be genuinely therapeutic for pain management and improved recovery time after an injury. Soft tissue injuries are very common after an auto accident or workplace injury and massage therapy works beautifully in conjunction with other treatments to promote a faster recovery time from soft tissue damage.
