The Benefits of Massage Therapy

12/7/2018

When we think of a massage, most of us envision a soothing body rub to reinvigorate sore and tired muscles. However, massage therapy isn’t only limited to muscle pain relief. The benefits of receiving a massage from, a Registered Massage Therapist, are numerous.

For example, a massage by a registered therapist can also improve blood circulation which is excellent for nerve health. Other benefits include: improved joint mobility; reduced muscle and joint pain; and improved lymphatic drainage.

The massage therapists at DRS Physio & Wellness are trained to treat patients of all ages with a variety of different conditions. For instance, our therapists can treat simple sprains and strains that may result from a sports related injury, to complex injury rehabilitation or disability.

Anxiety and depression

Thanks for helping me out to understand the basic aspects of massage therapy and the benefits associated with it. Some people are unaware of such kinds of benefits. Massage therapy has a positive influence on the nervous system, cardiovascular system, skeletal system, and muscular system. Skin is one of the major beneficiaries of massage therapy. So, a person should undergo massage therapy to get such kinds of benefits and to stay physically and mentally fit. To know more about the benefits associated with massage therapy, visit

Hi Chase,

That's great you are interested in starting your own blog as more information is needed on alternative forms of therapy. My recommendation to you would be to keep you articles simple, concise and accurate. Ensure the information you provide is supported by medical data.

Thank you for explaining that massage therapy can help with anxiety. My daughter has been wondering how she can relax during college with her anxiety. I'll be sure to mention this to her to see if it's something she would like to try.

Anxiety can be difficult to manage. I hope massage therapy can help her as it has helped me.
