How Can Massage Help You?

Therapeutic massage has been used for millennia as a natural pain relief solution. We use massage therapy in our North St. Louis, MO office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Holland provides. Massage therapy does much more than just feel good. It also offers many benefits as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are just a few of each:

• Pain relief (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
• Improved range of motion and flexibility
• Better circulation
• Greater immune system function
• Enhanced sports performance
• Reduced depression and anxiety
• Increased levels of energy
• Lower levels of fatigue
• Improved sleep
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Reduced stretch marks
• Less scar tissue

Advantages like these have been found to be particularly helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Therapeutic massage has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with higher than healthy blood pressure, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have improved levels of weight gain.
