Health Benefits of Massage Therapy in Ann Arbor MI

According to the National Institute of Health, there have been many legitimate scientific studies about the actual benefits of Massage Therapy. Massage therapy has been indicated to be useful in treating, or at a minimum reducing, the symptoms of conditions including cancer, fibromyalgia, mental health issues, headaches, HIV/AIDS, infant care, other illnesses and conditions, and pain related to any of these. The reasons for the effectiveness of massage therapy on these conditions include increased circulation, increased release of "good hormones" that come from being touched and feeling nice, reaching areas in a way that the untrained cannot and physically fixing the problem, and more. The treatment is considered one of the safest methods of pain relief for most people.

What Exactly Happens at a Massage Therapy Appointment?

Now that you know some of the benefits of massage therapy you may want to set up an appointment, but still be apprehensive because you do not know what to expect. First, put your mind at ease by knowing that we are here to make you comfortable. We treat many people with various conditions respectfully and effectively. Do not worry if you have never been, we will make sure you are comfortable. When you first arrive we will discuss your needs, including any pain you may have or conditions you are dealing with. Then you will be asked to disrobe to the point that you are comfortable with. (The therapist will leave the room.) Then you will lay on the table with only your back or area that is being treated exposed. The room temperature, sounds, and scents should all be comfortable for you. Our medical massage therapist will then treat the area needed, all while making sure of your comfort throughout. When it is complete you will be left alone to get dressed in private. The effects of a massage can be felt long after the actual event.
