When it comes to back pain, muscle pain and any other body pain, what many doctors will do is prescribe pain medications. The only problem is pain medications have many unpleasant side effects that come along with them.

Pain medications can also come with the danger of becoming dependent on them. If pain medication is taken for an extended period of time, the person simply gets used to taking them and this can turn into an unhealthy habit.

Unlike medication, massage is not a quick fix to make the pain go away. Instead, with consistency and patience, the natural remedy a massage can provide is much healthier.

After just three massage sessions, people start to notice the difference in their pain levels and feel healthier about their choices.

There are times when people experience injuries that keep them away from what they love for an extended period of time. What most people don’t know is that these issues can often be resolved with just a few massage sessions and before you know it you’re back in the game.

If you’re experiencing muscle pain or soreness, getting a few massage sessions can enable your muscles to relax and reduce knots and spasms thereby making the healing process go a little faster. It is a more natural approach than taking pain killers and anti-inflammatories.

If this sounds familiar, schedule a massage today. I can help you recover so you can get back out there!

Some jobs leave people with aches and pains hours after they get off the clock — for example, delivery persons, mail carriers and other jobs that include heavy lifting. These jobs take a toll on a number of parts of the body, such as the neck, back and knees, and that can cause discomfort if left untreated.

Scheduling a massage once a week, or even once a month can ease the tension in the muscles, reduce the likelihood of injury, increase mobility and ease pain and discomfort after a long work shift. The benefits of massage build with each session.

Along with treating the muscles, massages help alleviate stress which is another consequence of these high-demand jobs. Massages can ease the body and mind and help you live a more care-free life, despite the demanding nature of your job.
