subject: Massage: More Than Just Relaxation And Stress Relief [print this page] Many people, when they think of a Lakewood, WA massage or acupressure therapy in other areas, think of stress relief and relaxation. The truth is there are many other benefits to acupressure therapy. In fact, this therapy is much more than just relaxation and stress relief, it is close to miraculous.
Healing Muscles and Tendons
Muscles and tendons can often become injured and sore from overuse or even regular daily activities. They can also become tight and bunched from stress and pressure at home, work, or social life. These tight or sore muscles and tendons can, if left untreated, lead to serious injuries. Acupressure therapy helps heal and soften the muscles and tendons in the body.
Recovery from Illness
During an illness the body's immune system builds up excess liquids and wastes in the vessels of the body. This excess can often be cause of great soreness and pain inside the muscles and tissues of the body. Acupressure therapy can help remove the excess buildup and relieve the pain associated with it.
Relief from Various Conditions and Diseases
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that attacks a myelinated nerve connection. This can often cause numbness and pain in the muscles and joints. Acupressure therapy can help relieve these symptoms and improve mobility. Acupressure therapy can also relieve symptoms of arthritis, osteoporosis, carpal tunnel, cerebral palsy and other conditions and diseases. Lakewood, WA massage therapists as well as acupressure therapists in other areas are trained and educated on how to help relieve pain associated with conditions and diseases such as these.
Therapy and Relief during Pregnancy
Pregnancy often brings aches and pains the body is not used to experiencing. Acupressure therapy provides relief during pregnancy by relieving tension in the muscles, softening the muscles, improving circulation and mobility, and providing relief to sore and tender muscles in the body. An acupressure therapist trained and educated in prenatal acupressure will ensure the mother-to-be gets the most benefits possible and that the therapy is done safely without causing harm to the mother or baby.
Recovery after Injury
Sports injuries and or injuries that occur from daily activities can cause pain and can even cause loss of mobility and have other negative effects on one's daily life. Acupressure therapy helps improve rehabilitation and can lead to a faster recovery of the injury. Therapists use techniques that help relieve pain and help the muscles and tendons to heal properly.
Acupressure therapy is designed to do more than just relax and reduce stress. A Lakewood, WA massage or acupressure therapy in other areas can help relieve pain, alleviate pain that accompanies various conditions or diseases, and helps to improve the overall health of the body.
