Do you use massage therapy for part of your health and wellness routine? If so, how often and why?
Answered by:
Yes. I'm a massage therapist who has been in practice for 20 years. I wouldn't be able to do what I do if I wasn't receiving massage. According to the American Massage Therapy Association (and I've found this to be true in my practice), massage therapy can:
relieve stress, reduce anxiety, can help to manage low back pain and muscle tension, enhance exercise performance, relieve tension headaches, relieve insomnia, ease depression symptoms, lower blood pressure, help reduce chronic neck pain, reduce carpal tunnel symptoms.
These are but a few benefits. If you are considering seeking out massage for your health benefits, I recommend receiving one at least once a month for optimum health maintenance.
