Massage Therapy
What is massage therapy? A seemingly easy question, but one that has a rather long answer. At its most basic definition, massage therapy is a physical manipulation of the body’s soft tissue, with the goal of having a physical and even psychological affect on the person who is receiving massage.
So what are the physical and psychological benefits?
Any massage therapist – or a recipient of a professional massage – will tell you that the benefits that come from massage therapy are many and large. While there is plenty of anecdotal evidence to support the medical benefits of massage, its therapeutic nature has been coming to the fore recently through scientific studies. According to the latest report from the AMTA, regular massage therapy has been shown to help relieve:
- Back pain
- Osteoarthritis of the knee
- Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome
- Alcohol withdrawal symptoms
- Frequent headaches
- High blood pressure
- Cancer-related fatigue
- Post-operative pain
It has also been proven to boost the functioning of the body’s immune system, and has been shown to help reduce pains associated with pregnancy as well as lower the risk of complications during pregnancy.
Whether or not your employees are pregnant, suffering from post-operative pain or cancer-related fatigue, they surely have some sort of pain or tension from office-related work. And everyone could use a stronger immune system. Looking directly at what massage therapy has been proven to do for workers shows clearly how massage therapy can benefit your office. Massage therapy can:
- Decrease aches and pain
- Reduce stress
- Lessen anxiety
- Increase morale
- Improve immune system function
- Decrease chance of injury
- Increase productivity
- Improve retention rate
- Motivate employees
