Massage is an ancient art of muscle manipulation that can have surprising effects on the body. While people have been enjoying various types of massage for thousands of years, only recently has scientific testing demonstrated its power to heal and restore the body.
A good massage can relieve stress, reduce pain and inflammation, restore a full range of motion, and resolve muscular tension or reflex issues. For centuries, patients knew that massage could relieve chronic back pain or sciatica because they simply felt better after each session. However, clinical testing now backs up that assertion. A full review by the Institute of Work and Health of 13 randomized clinical trials showed that massage had measurable effects when compared to inert or placebo treatments.
Massage therapy was shown to be more effective than many similar non-invasive treatments. When choosing a treatment for issues like herniated discs or general neuropathy, you have many options and not all of them are created equally.
