Who can benefit from massage therapy?

Published

on

Thanks to the adaptability of massage techniques, almost anyone can benefit from massage therapy. From newborns to seniors, there’s a massage for everyone.

Babies
Some specialized massage therapists work with babies as young as one or two months old. These massages can facilitate digestion, reduce colic discomfort and help premature babies gain weight a little faster.

Children
Massage therapy can reduce stress in kids and improve their cognitive development, notably by increasing their ability to concentrate. This also applies to teenagers.

Pregnant women
Prenatal massage therapy helps expectant mothers mitigate the impact of pregnancy on their bodies. It can relieve back pain and even increase dopamine and serotonin levels, thereby reducing the risk for depression.

Adults
Whether it’s to reduce muscle pain or stress, both men and women can greatly benefit from massage therapy.

Seniors
Certain types of massage are specifically designed for seniors, including some that are meant to alleviate arthritic pain.

Discover the benefits of massage for yourself by visiting a licensed massage therapist near you.
