Here at ‘Massage Adelaide’, we hope to bring you lots of valuable information about the benefits of massage.   

Massage is a very beneficial complementary therapy that aids in stress relief, pain relief and muscular problems, to name a few.   It can be a wonderful help in recovering from illness, to give yourself a lift when you’re feeling run down and to increase productivity and decrease stress in the work environment. 

Massage for Stress Relief

While the practice of therapeutic massage has been used for centuries in the east, it is a relatively recent phenomenon here in the west.  Many people are looking towards complimentary therapies and non-invasive treatments for their ailments.  Massage therapy has never been as popular as it is today.

A number of studies have shown that massage therapy is a highly effective stress reduction technique. It is highly encouraging that both the medical establishment and the general public are starting to realize the impact that stress can have on an individual’s health and well being. 

Some physicians and researchers have suggested that stress is responsible for over 75% of all disease in the western world, including skin disorders, high blood pressure, headaches, digestive ailments, muscle pain, and depression.  Massage therapy can help in reducing stress on the body.

The eminent Victorian physician, Dr. Stretch Dowse, noted the following back in 1887:  “The mind, which before massage is in a perturbed, restless, vacillating and, even despondent state, becomes after massage, calm, quiet, peaceful and subdued; in fact, the wearied and worried mind has been converted into a mind restful, placid, and refreshed.”   Massage therapy has helped countless people cope with the stress of modern life. 

Now, with corporate massage availabe, massage can be very helpful in the workplace.  Qualified therapists can come to you at your place of work, with massage chairs or tables to give short massages (approx 10-15 minutes) to each employee.  This helps reduce stress in the commonly tense areas of the shoulders, neck and back.  Employees feel rewarded and rejuvenated and work efficiency is improved after a massage.

Adelaide has many well trained massage therapists, so you are bound to find someone that is a good fit for you.
