Scientific evidence shows that massage is a better method for managing back pain than painkillers or surgery.

While massage is often considered a luxury, a majority of folks reaching out for massage are seeking to improve medical conditions such as chronic pain, stress, and anxiety. Though individuals with acute conditions should see a doctor, massage can be an effective way to experience the following benefits:

  • management of chronic neck and back pain as well as pain associated with TMJD, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, fibromyalgia, osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis

  • improved sleep, anxiety reduction and lowered blood pressure

  • increased range of motion, enhanced exercise performance and injury prevention

  • relief of tension headaches and decreased migraine frequency

  • relief of postoperative pain and improved quality and appearance of scar tissue

  • reduction of discomfort associated with pregnancy .
