One of the many treatment options our team at Active Integrative Medicine offers is massage therapy. In our experience, many people assume massage is a spa treatment for relaxation, without realizing it can be extremely helpful in treating injuries and managing pain. In this article, our team will go over a few common issues our massage therapists can help with to give you an idea of the possibilities.
- Sports Injuries – If you have suffered an injury while playing a sport, we encourage you to see a massage therapist. Our massage therapists have extensive experience in working with athletes of all skill levels, and we can help support your recovery. Our team will help work the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your body to promote healing and restore range of motion.
- Chronic Pain – Another thing a massage therapist can help with is managing chronic pain. If you experience ongoing pain due to an old injury, a pain-causing condition, or anything else, you can turn to our team to get relief. Our therapists will manipulate your tissues to loosen stiff muscle fibers and promote the release of endorphins, alleviating the pain you are in.
- Stress Relief – Seeing a massage therapist is also a great way to relax and relieve stress. Mental stress has a significant impact on physical health—for example, it can increase your blood pressure—so managing stress is an important part of any wellness plan. Our team can help you get rid of the stress you’ve been carrying, so you can find true well-being.
