Are you feeling sore, tired, or struggling to sleep well? Give massage therapy a try! As part of the new USFHP Integrative Health Solutions, we now offer massage therapy to our members. The benefits of massages include reduced heart rate, blood pressure, and increased blood circulation. All of these factors enhance medical treatment by relaxing your muscles and increasing your range of motion and endorphins (body’s natural painkillers).
Not only does massage therapy help with physical discomfort, but it can also boost mental health and immune functions. Massage therapy is beneficial for mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, and also for people dealing with seasonal affective disorder. When receiving a massage, it will increase your blood circulation and lymphatic flow, allowing nutrients to flow throughout your body and metabolic waste to be filtered. These increased lymphocyte levels aid the immune system in fighting off toxins.
Here are some benefits you will notice after one session:
- Ease of muscle tension
- Less pain
- Increased mobility/range of motion
- Enhanced blood circulation
- Better quality of sleep
It is recommended that you get a massage on a regular basis to manage your health conditions. However, remember to consult your healthcare provider before you start any treatments.
We prioritize keeping our services simple, enhanced, and innovative because we always go the extra mile for you!
