Why should you get a medical massage?
Medical massage therapy is a great all-natural option for treating many conditions and symptoms. It is well known for reducing stress. However, stress relief is just one of the many benefits of massage. It works on injuries, pain and conditions within the soft tissues. The soft tissues are made up of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Medical massage therapy is a very effective way to release muscle tension and break up scar tissue. In addition, massage increases circulation, flexibility, and assists the lymphatic system in the elimination of toxins.
Mayoclinic.com has listed some common benefits of massage therapy such as reducing stress, pain, muscle soreness, muscle tension, improving circulation and energy, lowering blood pressure and increasing relaxation.

Anxiety

Deep tissue massage is a more concentrated massage technique and is designed to treat moderate pain levels. It is used to alleviate pain that is located deep into the muscle. Deep tissue massage also addresses issues with limited range of motion.
Trigger point therapy massage is a technique designed to treat “trigger points.” Trigger points are specific areas in the muscle where it has become shorter and forms a knot under the skin. These areas of muscle affected by trigger points cause pain to refer to other parts of the body. Trigger point therapy removes the source of the pain in the muscle by enabling the muscle to relax and return to normal length. Sometimes referred to as, “trigger point release technique” it can also help with headaches and improve posture.
Lymphatic drainage massage is used primarily to relieve swelling and lymphatic blockage. It works by gently massaging areas of the body to promote lymph drainage and toxin elimination.
