5 Surprising Benefits of Physiotherapy Massage

Massage is the perfect way to take time out of your schedule to relax and pamper yourself. But it’s more than that – massage therapy is one of the oldest therapeutic treatments used to manage a variety of diseases and there are some surprising benefits!

  1. Assists with Stress Levels 
    Massage therapy is the perfect way to reduce the stress hormone, cortisol. This helps kickstart energy levels & assists in lowering anxiety, stress, depression, fatigue and blood pressure.
  2. Promotes Relaxation and Improves Sleep 
    With cortisol reduction, you will feel relaxed and rejuvenated, improving sleep quality.
  3. Improves Blood Circulation 
    Massage therapy also accelerates the blood supply, in turn healing muscle aches, reducing muscle pressure and also helps lower blood pressure. 
  4. Reduces Pain & Improves Joint Flexibility
    Remedial massages can help relieve pressure and pain in joints and muscles, and also helps increase flexibility as well.  
  5. Reduces Headaches/ Migraine Pain
