Why Registered Massage Therapy?
There are immense benefits to be achieved through regular massage therapy treatments from a Registered Massage Therapist. Therapeutic massage, in conjunction with directly treating physical pain, also alters your biochemistry; thereby dramatically improving your immune system, as well as boosting positive mood hormones. Stress has said to be the root of as much as 80% of all disease and is something massage therapy is known to reduce. Getting a massage helps to reduce the stress hormones cortisol, raise feel the good hormones dopamine and serotonin, and lower excitatory hormones like nor-epinephrine and epinephrine. Massage therapy can be an important part of your health maintenance plan by reducing or eliminating pain, reducing muscle tension, improving joint mobility and flexibility, improving circulation, stimulation of the lymphatic system, relaxation, reduce anxiety and depression.
