• The Benefits of Massage
Massage is a natural therapy, which has probably been in use since the origins of mankind. It remained the principal method of treating most musculoskeletal problems for many thousands of years.
Massage has many benefits, both physical and psychological. It works on many levels, and it is the unique way in which it combines the various benefits to suit the individual, that makes it such a versatile and effective treatment method.
Minor injury is by far the most common musculoskeletal problem, but as modern medicine focuses its attention into developing ways of treating increasing serious conditions, minor injuries are becoming less adequately dealt with, even though they can still be very painful and can affect one’s occupation, sport or quality of life.
If minor injuries are not treated properly in early stages, they can lead to serious chronic conditions in the long term. Massage can treat the majority of minor problems effectively and relatively quickly.
