Benefits of Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage has been used for thousands of years as a natural pain relief approach. We use massage therapy in our Yakima office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Kroner provides. Massage does much more than just feel amazing. It also offers many positive effects as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are just a few of each:

• Pain reduction (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
• Improved range of motion and flexibility
• Improved circulation
• Enhanced sports performance
• Reduced depression or anxiety
• Higher levels of energy
• Lower levels of fatigue
• Easier time getting and staying asleep
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Fewer stretch marks
• Reduced scar tissue

Benefits like these have been found to be especially helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Massage therapy has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with high blood pressure, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have increased levels of weight gain.
