A soothing massage can help you unwind, but that's not all. A growing body of

research shows massage therapy can be an effective part of pain relief and

management. Millions of Americans suffer regularly from pain and regular

headaches. Explore the information on how massage therapy can help.

Pain is caused by lack of oxygen at the cellular level. Lack of oxygen can be caused by many things, such as inflammation and constriction. For example, when we get the flu and our body becomes sore and hot with fever, our muscle fibers begin to stick together, which inhibits the circulation that carries oxygen to our cells. When muscle fibers remain stuck together, this lack of oxygen causes pain.

There are secrets to creating an environment within our bodies that makes pain less likely. One is drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day. Our bodies are 70% water, and when this level drops, we enter a state of dehydration which slows down circulation. Without water it is impossible to enjoy adequate circulation, and we can live in a constant state of pain and discomfort.

The other is massage. Above all else, massage relaxes the tissue and increases circulation. This allows the flow of fluids, nutrients, and oxygen to reach the cell where all health is maintained. So get massage regularly, drink lots of water, and live a pain-free and healthy life!

Headaches cripple our ability to function optimally and are probably the most common form of what could be called discomfort. Now is a good time to allow a massage professional the opportunity to rid you of your headache discomfort naturally. There are three types of headaches—tension, sinus and migraine.

Tension headaches account for over fifty percent of all primary health care providers’ visits. Sinus headaches are attributed to allergies and the flu.

Tension Headaches There are as many causes of headaches as there are personalities and lifestyles. Whether the cause is emotional or physical, the result is the same – throbbing

temples and mental discomfort. We are certainly not at our creative best when our head hurts. Massage addresses tension headaches by relaxing the neck and shoulders.

As we relax, we soften our muscles and headaches disappear. These are the easiest headaches for massage therapists to address.

Sinus Headaches Sinus headaches are best addressed by face massage. As the sinus cavities

become relaxed, the fluids that are trapped in these spaces release and begin to flow, allowing the sinuses to drain and cleanse. This is a slow process and usually takes a

few massage sessions. Between massages, you can find relief with a few minutes of regular self-massage.

Migraine Headaches Migraine headaches can be caused by either impingement of the nerves in the neck

or by chemical imbalances. Massage can address the impinged nerve problem by releasing the Levator Scapula, a set of muscles that stretch from

the shoulder blades to the neck. It is often necessary to address either the left or right Levator for several sessions to achieve complete relief.
