Massage is not only beneficial for relaxation and stress relief. It’s also done for injury rehab to assist the healing process, by relaxing muscles and reducing inflammation. It boosts the immune system which enhances healing and helps prevents illness. The stressful lives we lead speed the aging process, so having regular massages helps reverse that process.
Massage reduces hypertension, suggests a good deal of research. This may be because it stimulates pressure receptors that prompt action from the vagus nerve, one of the nerves that emerges from the brain. The vagus nerve regulates blood pressure, as well as other functions. In a 2005 study at the University of South Florida, hypertension patients who received 10 massages of 10 minutes each over three weeks showed significant improvements in blood pressure compared to a control group who simply rested in the same environment without any massage.
Massage relieves pain, eases tension, relaxes inflamed muscles, improves circulation, reduces hypertension, boosts your immune system, enhances your mood and generally just makes you feel better!
Client receives chair massage by Michael Law
Persistently high blood pressure also known as hypertension can damage arteries and body organs including the kidneys and the heart. In fact high blood pressure increases the risk of stroke six times and the threefold.
Mike and T.S.M.B.,Inc. have helped my family with various injury and rehab issues for the past three plus years! He helped me personally with back issues after scolios surgery and training for running and triathlon events were causing some back pain. He helped my Dad rehab after a torn hamstring and my Mom after two meniscus repairs on her knees! His positive attitude and massage experience and skill have been beneficial in more than ways to all of us than I’m sure he knows. I highly recommend Mike and his company.
