Massage Therapy for Chronic Pain – Does it really work?

Did you know that the word ‘massage’ means deep relaxation and relief from stress? Deep tissue massage can help in easing chronic pains and assist in easing muscle tensions. That is the reason why the best massage therapists focus not only on the area where the pain arises, but they follow a holistic massage approach, that focuses on the entire body and how it affects the soft tissue.

Many people visit our Bundaberg massage clinic after they experienced sports injuries, like from CrossFit for example, or another occupational injury. Others find our holistic massage approach helps them ease back pain and reduce stress. Massage therapy has even shown to drastically reduce anxiety and boost the immune system.

With computers being a big part of our day nowadays and the lack of movement, many people suffer from lower back pain, migraines and especially neck pain, which can become intolerable. Back pain and migraine massage are some of the most requested treatments at our massage clinic here in Bundaberg. In fact, most people visit us to reduce some kind of chronic pain.

How Effective Is Massage Therapy For Chronic Pain?

Massage Therapy Helps Ease Chronic Pain. Back pain and menstruation pain are quite common, and many people go straight to painkillers. But painkillers will only eliminate the pain temporarily and not help in getting to the root of the cause. When we take painkillers, our body stops sending pain receptors to our brain, thus we do not feel the pain anymore; However, it doesn’t treat the actual problem itself. Massage Therapy will.

Massage therapy increases the number of endorphins, which is the hormone that acts as a natural painkiller in our body. Furthermore, a good massage will not only treat the root cause of chronic pains, but it will also create a sense of well-being by restoring balance in your body, both on a biochemical and emotional level.

Who Needs a Massage Therapist?

Massage therapy will work for patients with arthritis, lower back pain, menstruation pain, migraines, as well as various other chronic pains. With more regular massage treatments, we have seen our patients’ posture improve, which in turn reduces the risk of future injuries and unnecessary muscles tension.

Massage therapy is also a safe treatment for pregnant women; a regular massage during the pregnancy can help with easier delivery, while post-natal massage will assist with getting your body back in shape, as it stimulates blood flow and your body’s natural healing processes.

Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is becoming more and more popular in Bundaberg and is recognised as a treatment for alleviating different types of body pains. Recent research shows that massage therapy has many other potential health benefits, including:

• It increases the flow and circulation of blood that brings the nutrients the muscles need. This, in turn, helps in easing the soreness of the muscles caused by physical injuries like a muscle strain.
• People suffering from muscle tension can also find relief with massage therapy. Reduced muscle tension can improve the flexibility of the muscles, and thus, improved sleep is often a natural result, too.
• A good massage will improve your mood because the ‘feel-good’ chemicals are released from the body. This chemical goes by the name of, ‘mood enhancer’ because it fights against depression and anxiety.
