How Massage Can Benefit You

Therapeutic massage has been used for millennia 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 Dr. Covington 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 some of the proven benefits:

• Pain reduction (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
• Improved range of motion and mobility
• Improved blood flow
• Enhanced sports performance
• Decreased depression or anxiety
• Higher levels of energy
• Lower levels of fatigue
• Reduced insomnia
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Fewer stretch marks
• Reduced scar tissue

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

Advantages such as these have been found to be extremely helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Therapeutic massage 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 increased levels of weight gain.
