Therapeutic Massage
You know a good rubdown feels nice, and a professional massage can make you feel renewed. But what are the health benefits of Massage Therapy?
1. Pain Relief - massage decreases the levels of stress hormones. Improved circulation helps muscles to heal and various massage techniques can help to release chronically tightened muscles to alleviate migraines, low back pain, and even fibromyalgia pain.
2. Sleep - massage therapy can help to increase brain wave patterns that are linked to sleep, leading to a deeper, more refreshing sleep at night.
3. Improve Mood - by decreasing the stress hormones and increasing serotonin, massage can truly help improve your mood!
4. Colds and Flu Relief - massage therapy can boost your immune system by improving circulation and the flow of lymphatic fluids!
At New Hampshire Natural Health Clinic we offer hot stone and lymphatic massage. The hot stones can be used allow a deeper pressure to be applied after the warmed stones are placed on the body to relax the muscles. Sometimes the lymphatic system can become "sluggish". This can show itself in a number of symptoms, including low energy, many cold and allergy symptoms as well as aches and pains. Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM) can help to elevate these symptoms. This massage is a very light touch and relaxing!
