Heartfelt Hands Massage Clinic

Massage is generally considered part of complementary and alternative medicine. It is increasingly offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.

Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain, and muscle tension. These studies have found massage may also be helpful for:

• Anxiety
• Digestive disorders
• Fibromyalgia
• Headaches
• Insomnia related to stress
• Myofascial pain syndrome
• Soft tissue strains or injuries
• Sports injuries
• Temporomandibular joint pain

Beyond the benefits for specific conditions or diseases, you will enjoy massage because it produces feelings of caring, comfort, and connection. Despite its benefits, massage is not meant to replace regular medical care. Let your doctor know that you are trying massage and be sure to follow any standard treatment plans that your doctor prescribes.
