What Is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is a form of integrative medicine and a manual therapy that involves moving soft tissues in the body to reduce stress, ease muscle tension, and promote relaxation and overall well-being. It is a hands-on technique performed by trained massage therapists. At Hanes Total Healthcare we currently offer a 50 or 80 minute massage session. Our massage therapist have years of experience when it comes to helping patients relieve their stress and tension and improve their overall well-being. 

What Are The Benefits?

• It helps relieve anxiety: If you suffer from anxiety, massage therapy can help reduce the symptoms. A 60-minute session can lower the stress hormone, known as cortisol, by almost 30%. 
• It helps with insomnia: It also helps you sleep deeper and enjoy more restorative sleep. 
• It relieves lower back pain: It is an alternative, non-invasive treatment method that can be used instead of pain medications and surgery. 
• It eases muscle tension: It can diminish muscle tension and reduce stress. This is especially beneficial for those who work long hours and whose calendars are fully packed. 
• It increases blood circulation: Even after one session, blood circulation gets better. Good blood circulation is important for a healthy heart, reduced sensitivity to cold, and increased energy. 
• It treats muscular injuries:  In combination with other therapies provided by our chiropractors, it helps relax and loosen tense and tightened muscles. It also alleviates pain caused by a muscular injury. 
• It helps with headaches: Headaches are one of the most common health complaints that our chiropractors hear from patients. Massage therapy helps ease tension headaches and migraines, which improves your quality of life.
