What Massage Therapy Treats & its Benefits

Massage therapy is helpful for various conditions, including muscle tension and joint pain, digestive concerns (constipation, bloating), sinus congestion, headaches, stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep, and difficulty concentrating.  It improves blood and lymph circulation.  Massage therapy is not a substitute for receiving medical treatment.  Please consult with your physician prior to receiving massage therapy, if you have any questions about whether it is appropriate for your condition.  Quite a number of research studies have been done on the effects of massage therapy.  See Research section for more detailed information.
