Why?
Here are some key benefits and what massage can help you with:
- Keeping you primed and ready for your chosen sport and help to increase your performance.
- Treat any sprains and strains from sports, work, or blue list chores.
- If you have a physical job with a lot of lifting or working in tight awkward positions massage can keep your body balanced and healthy and able to keep working. A job that has a lot of lifting will fatigue the muscles of the back, even when you are lifting properly and especially when the worker gets too casual and starts lifting improperly. When the muscles are fatigued they will get very tight and painful. This will lead to the joint being less supported and then things like disc herniations happen. If your job involves a repetitive posture or movement the muscles of that movement will get overworked and will be stronger and/or tighter than the other side. This leads to body imbalance and can lead to postural issues, joint range issues, eventual joint wear and arthritis, this list can also go on and on. Jobs with repetitive motions often lead to tendinitis issues which take a lot of work and time to heal properly, see our article on * inflammation and tendinitis *.
- If you work at a desk job in front of a computer or on a phone there are a lot of body restrictions that can occur by sitting in those positions for long periods. Massage will help to manage those imbalances.
- Treat, give homecare, and therapeutic exercises for specific injuries like: disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, tendinitis (ie elbow), headaches, whiplash, rotator cuff injuries, pre and post hip/knee surgery, job related imbalances, ankle sprains, carpal tunnel, the muscles reactions to arthritis, etc…
- Massage is known to help people with anxiety and depressive disorders. For more information and explanations see my article on *anxiety and depression*.Massage from an RMT can be a safe and therapeutic form of touch, which can be very beneficial for people who have little physical contact with
Most men may need a push to come in for their first massage, but after only a few treatments many start to realize just how beneficial it is to take care of their bodies. It is not a luxury or a spa treatment, it is a legitimate medical treatment to help your body function optimally at work, home, and/or play.
