Most Massage Therapists - Possess the Healing Touch
Most Massage Therapists participate in some physical activity on a regular basis. They probably played some sport growing up. Like those in a standard hospital setting, they are concerned with people’s well-being, and have some interest in biology, chemistry or anatomy. And they’re no wallflower—they like being around people.
The US Department of Labor estimates "Up to 31,800 Massage Therapy jobs are expected to become available between 2002 and 2012.” which bodes well for finding an available therapist locally.
What are the Benefits of Massage Therapy?
Many of today's health problems can benefit from massage therapy because the manipulation of soft tissues affects so many of our bodily systems.
The benefits of massage are extensive. Massage therapy treatments will have a therapeutic affect and improve health by acting directly on the muscular, nervous, circulatory and lymphatic (immune) systems.
Massage treatments aim to:
- Develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function.
- Relieve or prevent physical dysfunction and pain.
- Relax tight and tense muscles.
- Improve circulation, recovery time and immune system function.
- Reduce overall stress.
Massage therapy is also effective in the control of pain chronic or acute, in stress reduction, and in creating a sense of relaxation and well-being.
What about Massage Therapy and Stress Reduction?
Prolonged periods of stress can subconsciously affect many systems of the body.
Stress has been shown to aggravate, or even cause, such problems as heart disease, gastrointestinal disorders, memory loss and decreased immune function. Massage therapy is one of the best antidotes for stress.
Massage boosts the body's immune system, which can become compromised from extended periods of stress. Tension can build up in the muscles, causing a decrease in circulation and nutrient delivery to tissues.
Manipulation of the soft tissue decreases muscular tension, increases removal of metabolic waste and promotes nutrient delivery to healing tissue. With a therapeutic massage, stress can be significantly reduced. This, in turn, will increase energy, improve your outlook on life, and in the process boost your immune system function.
