Other benefits...
 
Massage can also help with:
 
Immune system: Massage can strengthen the immune response and reduce stress hormones, which can impair the immune system.
 
Pain: Massage can help ease pain and soreness.
 
Flexibility: (Flexology) Massage can increase flexibility, which is the ability to move joints and muscles without discomfort or restriction.
 
Energy and alertness: Massage can increase energy and alertness.
 
Blood pressure and heart rate: Massage can decrease blood pressure and heart rate.
 
Constipation: Abdominal massage can help with bowel movements for people who are constipated after surgery (post-op surgery)
 
Fibromyalgia: Massage can improve symptoms of fibromyalgia, a chronic illness that causes joint and muscle pain and fatigue.
 
Cancer pain: Massage can help lessen cancer pain and improve quality of life for people undergoing cancer treatments.
 
Physical pain can cause emotional distress. Chronic pain or persistent physical ailments can cause emotional distress or mental health challenges.
 
 This means that the sensations we experience for both types of pain travel the same neurological pathways.
Studies have shown that people who have experienced both physical and emotional trauma can experience more severe symptoms of each type of distress than those who have experienced only one kind of trauma.
 
  So, what you think might be a "Sports Injury" or you slept wrong, may be emotional distresses or imbalances with your neurotransmitters, shooting off singles of pain to already tence or micro torn muscle fibers. 
 
     Neuromuscular Sport Therapy, is a specialized form of myofascial trigger point therapy, that involves the application of firm, sustained, and controlled pressure over painful, taut bands of muscle fibers, to release tension, pain, emotions and facilitate blood flow.
A trigger point therapy is profound tenderness in a muscle, making it tight and painful, may develop as a result of direct trauma or repetitive microtrauma due to overuse under stretched muscles.
 
A Wellness Therapist trained in trigger point therapy can examine the inflammed muscles and evaluate the number of therapy sessions that may be needed to improve tone, balance, and muscle strength.
