How Massage Can Benefit You

Massage therapy has been used for many thousands of years as a natural pain relief approach. We use massage therapy in our Yakima office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Covington provides. Massage treatment does much more than just feel great. It also offers many benefits as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are some of the proven benefits:

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

We Can Help You Find Comfort From Neck Pain and Headaches with Massage Therapy

Benefits like these have been discovered to be particularly 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 high blood pressure, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have better levels of weight gain.
