5 Health Benefits of Therapeutic Massage

If you want to focus on mind and body harmony during your next vacation, consider scheduling a therapeutic massage. During this relaxing treatment, you can turn off all outside stressors, allowing you to leave the experience fully rested. Therapeutic massages are beneficial for everyone and can be especially helpful if you:

  • Need to relieve mental stress or anxiety.
  • Have chronic stiffness in your joints or limbs.
  • Are in the post-operative healing phase.
  • Want to experience rest and rejuvenation.

Your massage therapist will strategically press on your soft tissues and carefully move your limbs so that you can experience the many health benefits of this treatment. Whether you want to visit a day spa OKC or are interested in our in-cabin treatments, here are some of the benefits that you will enjoy after a therapeutic massage.

 

5 Health Benefits of Therapeutic Massage at Our In-Cabin Spa Broken Bow

1. Relief from Muscle Pain and Soreness

Sore and pained muscles can make it difficult to enjoy your regular activities. Whether the cause is exercise, recovery from surgery, or a chronic pain condition, a therapeutic massage can help. Your massage therapist can release tension and promote healing through careful movements and muscle manipulation.

 

2. Reduced Stress and Anxiety

By focusing on soft tissues, your massage therapist can reduce the physical stress that your body holds. This also reduces your mental stress and the anxiety that it often causes. When you can fully relax during your therapeutic massage, your body benefits from a decrease in your heart rate and blood pressure. It may also lower your cortisol levels. Additionally, you will experience a boost in your serotonin, dopamine, and endorphin levels.

 

3. More Flexibility for Ease of Movement

During your treatment at our in-cabin spa Broken Bow, your massage therapist carefully manipulates your muscles, limbs, and joints. These movements encourage healthy blood flow and lymph circulation throughout your body. All of this, combined with your reduced muscle pain, can help increase your flexibility and overall range of motion.

 

4. Deeper and Better-Quality Sleep

Whether it is due to stress, busy schedules, or various other causes, many people have difficulty falling asleep and experiencing a good quality of rest. A therapeutic massage can help because it encourages your body to relax. Even if you meet with your massage therapist early in the morning, this treatment can still help you unwind and get ready for good quality rest at the end of your day.

 

5. Improvement in Your Immune Function

Therapeutic massages can help your body heal in many ways; one lesser-known healing benefit is that they can boost your immune function. This is because, by gently manipulating your soft tissues, your massage therapist encourages a flow of healing white blood cells throughout your body. This effect is especially helpful when combined with your decreased levels of stress, anxiety, and muscle pain.
