BENEFITS OF MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage therapy addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension. Massage has many physiological effects, such as:
- Increased circulation to all areas of the body. This means that more oxygen goes to the tissues, enabling them to function more efficiently.
- Removal of toxins and waste products that build up in the tissues.
- Reduction in recovery time from certain injuries.
- Softening of the connective tissue that permeates the body, resulting in more relaxed muscles and more efficient organ function.
- Breaking of the pain-tension cycle, which helps prevent muscle strains and aches.
- Increased flexibility and joint mobility.
- Better muscular balance throughout the body, resulting in effective support for other healing modalities, such as chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation.
Currently, we do not have any massage therapists working at Cummings Family Chiropractic. Dr. Cummings refers patients to massage therapists who work outside our office when he feels their treatment would be of benefit. If you are interested in having a massage therapist on staff in the office, please talk to Dr. Cummings.
