What conditions can benefit from massage treatment?
Nearly any type of pain diagnosis could potentially benefit from massage therapy. We often refer my clients for massage therapy for problems like low back pain and neck pain. Massage can offer relief from headaches and tight shoulder muscles caused by stress. I refer cancer patients who are experiencing pain or dealing with side effects from chemotherapy. Some chemo causes neuropathy in the hands and feet, and patients often see improvement in their symptoms with regular massage. Many professional athletes are in pain because of injuries, and they’re utilizing massage and acupuncture as non-pharmaceutical treatments. Both of these can be effective methods ton control pain.
