Massage benefits
The practice of massage has been used since thousands of years ago, as shown in numerous discoveries made in antiquity on the territories of China, Japan, India, Egypt, Greece and the Far East. However, its popularity was regained in Europe, with the Renaissance period, and since then, the interest in its incorporation in solving medical problems has grown exponentially.
The benefits of therapeutic massage
Massage brings enormous benefits, regardless of whether you want a simple moment of relaxation, the reduction of muscle tension or the reduction of the intensity of certain chronic pains. A therapeutic massage can increase the feeling of general well-being (both physical and emotional) as well as the quality of life.
Massage therapy is a panacea for people of all ages. Although at first glance, you may think that only stressed, sick people or those who are facing certain symptoms or pain should follow these practices, it was found that the miraculous power of this therapy consists mainly in preventing diseases and preventing the worsening of some medical problems. Massage therapy is useful for both chronic and acute medical conditions.
Massage and treatment of medical conditions
To give you an idea, here is a list of just a few of the situations/diseases in whose treatment the introduction of massage sessions is recommended:
- Anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress and problems derived from stress, chronic fatigue;
- Asthma and emphysema;
- Headaches, back and limb pains (both lower and upper), dislocations, fractures and edema;
- Cancer or post-surgical rehabilitation;
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (numbness and tingling of the hands);

- Gastrointestinal disorders;
- Inflammatory diseases, such as: arthritis and bursitis;
- Kyphosis and scoliosis;

- Parkinson’s disease;
- Sports injuries.
Massage and health maintenance
Aaron Tanason, a Canadian specialist in therapeutic massage declares: “Human touch, in a safe, professional and friendly context, can have incredible therapeutic and relaxing effects.”
Therapeutic massage is a vital part of the health maintenance plan, through:
- Improving joint mobility;
- Reducing or eliminating pain (a 2011 study shows that massage is as effective in relieving chronic back pain as any other treatment methods);
- Improvement of circulation and the function of the immune system;
- Increased lymphatic drainage;
- Reduction of depression and anxiety (in 2005, a research published in the International Journal of Neuroscience and applied to women suffering from breast cancer showed that patients who went to massage sessions 3 times a week reported a decrease in feelings of depression and nervousness);
- Reduction of muscle tension;
- Increasing body awareness.
