Massage Therapy Benefits

At Reddy Care Physical, Occupational and Aquatic Therapy, we offer a combination of physical therapy services that are either active or passive. Active treatment focuses on the patient performing specific tasks while passive treatment focuses on the patient receiving care rather than participating in it. Massage therapy is a type of passive treatment. Physical therapists are trained in therapeutic massage. 

Massage therapy involves a trained massage therapist to use different movements, pressures and techniques to manipulate the muscles and soft tissues of the body. The biggest purpose of massage therapy is muscle relaxation. Massage therapy helps to target the body’s pain helping to eliminate tense muscles, increasing flexibility, and providing relaxation. Athletes, young toddlers, adults, and seniors can benefit from massage therapy. 

Benefits of therapeutic massage include:

• Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
• Accelerated healing
• Reduced swelling and inflammation
• Improved range of motion
• Reduced pain
• Decreased adhesions and scar tissue formation
• Decreased stress
• Improved mood

Our therapists use therapeutic massage to help their patients manage or recover from a wide range of conditions, including fibromyalgia, back and neck pain, arthritis, migraines, diabetic nerve pain, sports and auto-accident related injuries, and even psychological disorders including anxiety and depression. If you feel you would benefit from massage therapy, call our office today.
