The Benefits of Massage

Hollistic Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage, Relaxation Massage - all of these are essentially the same practice but different variations. In previous years, massage used to be looked down upon and its value questioned. In today’s society, it is viewed as an important tool in promoting and maintaining mental, emotional and physical health.

Studies have shown massage to help reduce stress, pain and muscle tightness, increase relaxation and improve the work of the immune system. At Limitless Therapy Clinic, we take advantage of massage and hands-on techniques to:

  • Improve Circulation

  • Decrease Muscle Stiffness

  • Decrease Joint Inflammation

  • Increase Speed of Recovery - a result of 3 above

Massage has also proven very useful in having many mental health benefits like lowering stress levels, improving mood and relaxation, decreasing anxiety and increasing the feeling of all-round wellness.

Depending on the reason for the massage, techniques and pressure can vary. After a massage, it is common to feel relaxed, tired and potentially have some muscle soreness; this is because your therapist has to break down muscle tissue in order to repair it.

When having a massage, don’t be afraid to give feedback to your therapist throughout the treatment. At Limitless Therapy Clinic, we pride ourselves on having an extensive toolbox of techniques that can be incorporated based on your needs.

If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to get in touch by email.
