Is massage therapy from a Registered Massage Therapist part of your health and wellness routine?
If not, it should be!
Here are five reasons why regular treatment from an RMT can enhance your health and wellbeing.
Reduces Stress
We live very stressful lives. Our modern lives are more stressful than ever. Our nervous system is overloaded with the demands of everyday life and constant stimulation from our screens. Being in a constant state of fight or flight can have significant negative effects on both your physical and mental health. Therefore, it is really important to take time to unwind and destress. Massages help to promote a sense of calm and relaxation by releasing feel good hormones such as endorphins, serotonin and dopamine.
Improves Mobility and Range of Motion
Regular treatment from a Registered Massage Therapist can help improve your mobility through your muscles and joints by releasing the tension in the muscles and fascia. This is particularly beneficial for athletes as it can help improve athletic performance.
Prevents and Treats Injuries
As mentioned above, regular massages from an RMT can increase your body’s mobility and range of motion which can help prevent injuries. Massage is also very good for injury rehabilitation because it promotes healing by increasing the blood flow to the area, reduces tension, as well as breaks down scar tissue.
Mental Health Benefits
One of the primary benefits of a massage is the improved sense of wellbeing. Regular massages create a sense of calm and release feel good hormones, which help to reduce stress and anxiety. A massage can also improve sleep quality and reduce stress. All of which can improve your overall emotional wellbeing.
Reduces Pain
Aches and pains from an injury, illness or just life in general? Massage therapy can help to relieve the symptoms of pain by reducing muscles tensions, increasing blood flow, relieving stress and releasing those feel good hormones.
