Have you ever had a massage and found a complete turnaround in your mood by the time you are driving home? Massage makes life better! But why...

There are biochemistry research based reasons for this!

There have been studies done for massage and depression research from the Touch Research Institute at the University Of Miami School Of Medicine.

The studies have shown that massage for depression can actually relieve depression and anxiety that is affecting the body’s biochemistry.

They found that massage increased dopamine and serotonin which are linked to reducing depression. They found this through studying women that were breast cancer patients receiving massage therapy for five weeks who ended up feeling less depressed.

Therapeutic massage is a complimentary care therapy that can be used in conjunction with your mainstream options like psychology and psychiatry.

Being mentally and physically tough goes without saying for people of all ages participating in any sports discipline.

Every sport creates repetitive movements which can become repetitive strains which can become serious injuries.

The warning signs are when the muscles start to ache and it feels like muscle recovery declines or stops.

The good news is regular Therapeutic Sports Massage can both help and prevent this.

To find out more of the benefits of regular Therapeutic Massage ask your local therapist. You can find one on our website. Link in the bio 🙌

You did it! Congratulations on completing the toughest race. We can help you in your recovery process.

It is common to have delayed muscle soreness about 24-48 hours after running a marathon. Massage has been shown to reduce the amount of pain felt in the week following the race. Scheduling your post-race massage is most beneficial 24-48 hours after crossing the finishing line.

Massage can help reduce the swelling often seen after enduring exercise. Inflammation of the muscles is very common and a recovery massage can reduce swelling by getting rid of waste build-up.

Regular massage after the marathon will help with any over-use injuries such as ITB pain or plantar fasciatis. These conditions, and others, can be assessed by your therapist and a plan for recovery made.

To get your recovery going, find a qualified therapist near you! Find the link in our bio 🤗

Prevention is better than cure!

Regular sports massage should be incorporated into your training to help you avoid unnecessary injuries.

Well-maintained muscles are stronger and more flexible and, therefore, less injury-prone.

Here are five top reasons to use regular massage to help prevent injury and recover from existing injuries:

Reduction in muscle tension, muscular pain and discomfort

Increased range of motion, leading to enhanced performance.

Decreased muscle stiffness and soreness after exercise or physical activity

Reduced recovery time post injury

Increased levels of relaxation and reduction in physical and psychological stress levels

Aids sleep quantity and quality.
