Reduce Your Aging Symptoms With Massage Therapy at AcuPhysioHealth

We are all aware that things are not quite the same as we are nearing 40. Regardless of your lifestyle – whether you are an office worker or a professional athlete – your neck, back and shoulders become more prone to pain and injury. One effective way to look after your health and wellbeing at this point is through massage therapy.

Massage therapies offer benefits beyond a simple, relaxing me-time and, as proven by many studies, they provide a great number of physical and mental health benefits that make them significant in the medical sense. Massage therapy can improve your posture, when ageing and/or lifestyle changes mean that you eventually begin to slouch. Therapeutic massage can reinforce natural movements, restoring your normal, healthier posture.

Similarly, massage therapy helps improve flexibility. Moreover, aging tends to cause your joints to tighten, restricting your range of motion, and massage therapy can help your joints stay fluid, making you more flexible and less predisposed to pain and injuries. Massage therapy can also relieve daily stress, particularly deep tissue massage, which is known to normalise heart rate and lower stress hormone levels, which improves mood and boosts relaxation.

Massage therapy also improves blood circulation, as massage creates a pressure that moves blood through congested areas, causing new blood to flow in and improving bodily functions. It can also help to improve your breathing. Too much stress and anxiety can cause constricted breathing and massage therapies can relieve these kinds of respiratory problems and train the body how to relax better. Additionally, massage therapies can provide relief for headache/migraine, osteoarthritis and back, muscle and neck pain.

At AcuPhysioHealth, they offer various types of massage therapy in Auckland to help patients achieve a more balanced and healthy lifestyle, and they advise people to consult with one of their therapists to determine if a massage therapy would be beneficial to them.
