As with any form of physical treatment, your massage therapist will begin your first treatment by asking about your health history.

Increased Flexibility
It may seem obvious, but stretching tense muscles and improving their surface blood flow increases their flexibility. Benefits of increased muscle flexibility include a decreased risk of injury, lower recovery times after workouts, and fewer spasms and cramps.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymph nodes are essentially filters that can be found in a number of places throughout our bodies. They contain white blood cells which in turn fight off infections and diseases. The more tense and stressed your body is the more toxins run through it and clog up your lymph nodes. Orleans massage therapy can relieve stress and tension. As a result, it increases lymphatic drainage and white blood cell count and boosts your immune system and overall health.
Pain Relief
Orleans massage therapy can reduce pain in a number of ways. It will provide pain relief in affected areas, whether it be the shoulders, neck, or back. But tense muscles and poor blood flow can also lead to secondary symptoms such as headaches. A massage therapist can help you alleviate these pains as well and thus improve your overall well-being.
Improved Mental Health
Massage therapy Orleans can improve not only your physical but also your mental health. By alleviating muscle tension, registered massage therapy can also improve your mental health. Stress, for example, can cause muscle tension which in turn can lead to feelings of fatigue, anxiety, and depression. Massage therapy in Orleans can alleviate these symptoms by attacking their root cause, thus improving your psychological well-being.
Stress Relief
Massage therapy can counter the build-up of stress, which in turn leads to increased muscle tensions. Lower stress levels not only contribute to the improvements mentioned above, but also reduce the risk of heart disease, gastrointestinal issues, or memory loss.
