How Can Massage Help You?

Massage has been used for millennia as a natural pain relief approach. We use massage therapy in our Arlington, WA office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Ernst provides. Therapeutic massage does much more than just feel good. It also offers many benefits as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are just a few of each:

• Pain relief (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
• Enhanced range of motion and flexibility
• Improved circulation
• Greater immune system function
• Enhanced sports performance
• Reduced depression and anxiety
• Increased levels of energy
• Decreased levels of fatigue
• Reduced insomnia
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Reduced stretch marks
• Reduced scar tissue

Advantages such as these have been found to be particularly helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Therapeutic massage has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with higher than healthy blood pressure, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have increased levels of weight gain.
