Massage therapy is a beneficial form of treatment in relieving stress-related symptoms. This occurs in three ways: - Increased circulation is one of the primary benefits. Chronic tension produces chronically tight muscles. Increased circulatory flow brings more oxygen to help nourish the cells as well as to rid the congested area of metabolic wastes. This process of "normalizing" the natural working mechanisms of the body can help to reduce pain, increase range-of-motion and begin to eliminate those "knots" we associate with tight necks and shoulders. - Relaxation is another effect of massage therapy. During a massage the body releases endorphins, the body's own natural pain killers. - Finally, massage helps us to "reconnect" our mind and body, helping them to function as an efficient balanced and productive unit!
