Chronic
Pain and Massage brochure excerpts
"Few things are as distressing as chronic pain. It
saps your energy and takes an emotional toll. Over time,
pain can become a vicious cycle with a life of its own,
continuing even after the original cause is resolved. Therapeutic
massage is a simple, effective and readily available support
measure for dealing with chronic pain."
"Massage can break the cycle of pain with its ability
to address most of the pain cycle elements. Massage relieves
muscle tension, stretching and kneading tight muscles and
calming the nervous system. When muscles relax, pressure
on nerves is reduced, relieving related pain in distant
sites." |
