Whether you’re working through a sports injury or carrying stress from daily life, massage therapy can help ease short and long-term pain. Unfortunately, many people think massages are unnecessary. On the contrary, they can be quite beneficial no matter your age or activity level. Here is an explanation of how massage addresses aches and pains.

Understanding How Massage Eases Body Pain

What Happens to Your Body When You Get A Massage?

massageWhen your muscles are tight or contracted, they strain the nerves around them. This in turn causes dull, aching, or even shooting pains. Slowly and forcefully rubbing, pressing, and manipulating muscles, skin, ligaments, and tendons during a deep tissue or sports massage penetrates into the layers of your muscle and connective tissue. According to a report from Harvard Medical School, massage relaxes your mind and muscles to relieve pain, in addition to possibly affecting the transmission of pain responses through nerves.

How Else Does Your Body Benefit from Massage?

Once considered an alternative form of medicine, massage is becoming more commonly prescribed as part of the standard treatment plan for many medical situations and conditions. While more conclusive research is still needed, the Mayo Clinic cites that massage may be beneficial in treating psychological issues, such as anxiety and insomnia related to stress, and physical issues, like digestive disorders, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, and more.
