MASSAGE THERAPY

At the Rejuvenation Center, we have a team of Licensed Massage Therapists on staff because we recognize the broad range of benefits that massage therapy has to offer our patients. Massage therapy has always been recognized as a legitimate aid for low back and neck pain and an effective adjunct to low back and neck treatments.

Our massage therapy team is an important part of our spine rehab program for a number of reasons. The work they do is often a strong complement to the other treatments a patient may receive in our clinic. A patient may be directed into a series of massage therapy sessions as indicated to help meet the objectives of the prescribed spine rehab program.

Physical Benefits of Massage Therapy:

• Relaxes muscle tension and stiffness as well as improving joint flexibility, range of motion and posture. This aids in the recovery of muscle soreness or muscle spasms following physical activity, allowing greater success with Interdiscal Decompression, Postural Restoration and Core Stabilization.
• Aids in rehabilitation after an injury or surgery. By promoting faster healing of strained muscles and sprained ligaments, massage reduces pain and swelling in addition to reducing the formation of excessive scar tissue.
• Improves circulation of blood and lymph fluids. The muscle relaxation helps to relieve stress and aid in relaxation, which can also help with insomnia. Massage can also promote deeper and easier breathing as well as reducing blood pressure.
• Leads to increased endorphin levels. The increase of endorphin levels is actually one of the greatest benefits of massage therapy. Endorphins are the chemicals the body produces that make you feel energized, rested and rejuvenated. Promoting an increased level of endorphins is an effective component in managing chronic pain and increasing levels of patient activity. This helps strengthen the immune system as well as optimizing a patient’s overall health.
