How Can Massage Help You?

Yakima WA Massage therapyTherapeutic massage has been used for many thousands of years as a natural pain relief solution. We use massage therapy in our Yakima office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Michael J. Covington DC-PS provides. Massage therapy does much more than just feel good. It also offers many health benefits as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are medically documented benefits:

  • Pain reduction (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
  • Increased range of motion and mobility
  • Better blood flow
  • Greater immune system function
  • Enhanced sports performance
  • Reduced depression and anxiety
  • Higher levels of energy
  • Lower levels of fatigue
  • Easier time getting and staying asleep
  • Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
  • Fewer stretch marks
  • Reduced scar tissue

Advantages like these have been found to be especially helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Massage therapy has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with hypertension, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have increased levels of weight gain.
