Generally, people use massage either for relaxation and general well-being or to treat a specific complaint, such as pain or limited range of motion. Research suggests that massage therapy may contribute to both goals
The human body works hard every day of life. Years of service are expected from the body, years that are often full of too little sleep, too little exercise, poor nutrition, poor air quality, poor water quality and a significant abundance of stress. However, how often do you pay attention to the signs of wear that the body sends through a sore back, sore shoulders, and a stiff neck?
Massage therapies are an invitation to reconnect with the body. Massage therapy ensures the relief of joint pain resulting from time spent in front of computers, at offices, standing on someone or something (dentists, construction workers, etc.) or tired legs.
According to Massage magazine, massage therapy also relieves common conditions such as thoracic output and carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic lower back pain, sciatic nerve restriction pain, and ATM syndrome. Massage therapy improves life by reducing stress, improving circulation and eliminating toxins and stimulating the immune system.
For each person this means an opportunity to feel really comfortable in their own body. General health and well-being improve as stress levels decrease. After a massage session, a person becomes a more productive and happier person. Massage therapy improves well-being and quality of life.

What specific conditions can massage therapy help?
Massage therapy can help the body and lead a healthy life in many ways. Massage can relax muscle tissue, which can lead to decreased nerve compression, increased joint space and increased movement. This can lead to a reduction in pain and an improvement in function.
Massage therapy can also improve circulation, increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells and helping to eliminate waste from the body produced by exposure to environmental pollution, among others. These circulatory effects of massage can have value in the treatment of inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis or edema (an excessive accumulation of fluid in body tissues, which can be reduced by manual lymphatic drainage).
Massage as a therapy is also believed to induce a relaxing response, which reduces heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure; strengthens the immune system and generally reduces the physical effects of stress through energy stimulation therapy.
