Cambridge Massage Therapy

What are some of the benefits of getting regular massage?

Well, it can help keep your muscles and connective tissue loosened up to prevent future injuries. This is especially helpful for very active, sporty people. For athletes, we want to spend our time playing our sport, not sitting on the sidelines with an injury. Keeping your muscles loose can prevent you from pulling a muscle.

It can also be instrumental in the recovery period of a muscular injury. When in doubt, please ask me or another professional in the field if massage is right for your injury. It's not suitable for everything, but it can really help with muscle damage.

Post surgery, your muscles will be behaving strangely. The ones that were cut into will be extremely weak, and physio will be needed for that. Other muscles will be doing the work, then of the weakened ones, thereby fatiguing and tightening up muscles that you usually don't have problems with. Also, once the inflammation has been significantly reduced and the doctor clears you for massage, it can be very useful to help the muscles that were cut into recover from their trauma.

Certain types of medical conditions can also be greatly helped from massage. Types like MS and others that tighten muscles are key for massage.
