Massage as a First Line of Defense for Pain Management

Massage therapy is more often seen as a therapeutic and clinical practice in recent years, as it establishes a foot hold in the health care community. Massage can be an immensely beneficial treatment option for those who suffer from chronic conditions or are more prone to pain/discomfort after certain activities. While the relief can be immediate, it is important to discuss with your therapist how best to manage your symptoms.

Remedying pain could require modifying day-to-day activities, or it may be more about establishing a regular treatment plan. Momentum and forward moving progress has the potential to be lost if visits to your massage therapist are spaced too far apart.

Many forms of massage therapy could be considered a contingent of the natural medicine field. The manual work from a massage therapist can incorporate the whole body anatomy- from muscles, bones, joints, fascia, organs, to blood vessels and nerves. Massage therapy can represent a very holistic approach to treatment.
