Benefits of Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage has been used for millennia as a natural pain relief solution. We use massage therapy in our Columbus office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Osborn provides. Therapeutic massage does much more than just feel great. It also offers many positive effects as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are some of the proven benefits:

• Pain reduction (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
• Improved range of motion and mobility
• Better circulation
• Greater immune system function
• Enhanced sports performance
• Reduced depression or anxiety
• Higher levels of energy
• Decreased levels of fatigue
• Easier time getting and staying asleep
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Fewer stretch marks
• Less scar tissue

Benefits like these have been found to be particularly helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Therapeutic massage has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with higher than healthy blood pressure, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have improved levels of weight gain.
