Benefits of Massage Therapy

When it comes to massage therapy, there is one question everyone is wondering when debating getting a massage. What are the benefits of getting a massage? Let’s chat about it!

One of the most common questions that Massage Therapists get asked is, “What are the benefits of getting a massage?” We can break it down into 3 distinct ways that massage therapy can benefit those who receive massage; physical, emotional, and spiritual.

Physical

There are so many physical benefits from getting a massage! When you come in for your massage, your massage therapist should do a consultation to see where your areas of pain, stiffness, or tension may be. This can help your massage therapist see where they need to work as well as other areas that may be affected. That being said, massage can offer more physical benefits that include, but are not limited to:

• Reduced Muscle Tension
• Improved Circulation
• Improved Skin Tone
• Improved Joint Mobility and Flexibility
• Improved Sleep

Mental

Massage therapy can greatly benefit your mental health! With research backing it up, it’s proven to relieve stress in clients who experience stress, anxiety and depression. That’s not all massage can do for your mental health though, as it can also help you:

• Feel Energized
• Improve Concentration and focus
• Improve your overall well being
• Brings feelings of peace and happiness
• Helps take away feelings of heaviness, helping you feel lighter

Spiritual

Another added benefit to massage most people may not think of is spiritual benefits. Most people in the world do not think of any spiritual benefits when they hear the words “Massage Therapy”. However, spiritual benefits mainly focus on the body’s alignment with all the different humors within it, and the even distribution of its energy. 

The following are a few of the different services that focus specifically on this aspect:

• Reiki
• Reflexology
• Chakra Alignment
