Massage is not just a leisurely activity that the elite can enjoy while pampering themselves, but an actual wellness component to healthy living.
In combination with Physical Therapy, massage helps to relax the muscles leaving the body in a state of ease, and while this not only feels wonderful, it puts the central nervous system into a relaxed state as well, which is a significant component to overall health and recovery.
When Physical Therapy is performed on a relaxed, massaged body, the overall musculoskeletal system reaches more advanced healing and regeneration. It is beneficial due to the synergy of both treatments. When you receive Physical Therapy, you do not have to subject yourself to drug therapies or addictive pain medications. Physical Therapy is a completely drug-free way to increase the body’s natural healing process.
