Massage Therapy in Sun Lakes

WHAT IS MASSAGE EXACTLY AND WHY SHOULD OUR PATIENTS CONSIDER MASSAGE AS PART OF THEIR THERAPY?

Massage is a term describing a variety of techniques to therapeutically stimulate or soothe soft tissues of the body. Massage works to relax and stimulate muscles by increasing blood flow, temperature, lymph flow, and also to break-up scar tissue between muscle fibers.

Massage is used for more than relaxation. It is incredible at reducing swelling, muscle spasms, and improving range of motion. Oftentimes, when applied appropriately, insurance will cover massage as part of a patient's therapy. Massage can also be used exclusively as therapy.

Massage therapy can be used as treatment for:

Headaches
Arthritis
Neck Pain
Low Back Pain
Sports Injuries
Circulatory Problems
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Musculo-Skeletal Disorders
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Many people report improvement with:

Massage isn't limited to treatment protocol. Should you decide that you need relaxation and want to relieve tension associated with the stresses of your daily life, massage can be very therapeutic. Doesn't everyone love to feel pampered with a massage?
