Massage therapy and physical therapy go hand-in-hand. Expanding your regimen to include massage therapy can help you recover faster and with less pain, regardless of whether your current need for care is sports-related, a car accident, or surgery recovery.

The benefits of massage extend through every aspect of well-being: the physical, physiological, and psychological. Massage calms the nerves and decreases swelling, which provides pain relief and increases mobility, and it also stretches muscles and connective tissue that could not be stretched in the usual methods, providing greater range of motion and less discomfort from moving an injured body part.

Massage can also work with and around scar tissue, as well as even break it up, which if left untended can lead to inflexible tissues and inhibited movement, limiting the results of your physical therapy, requiring more sessions to achieve the desired result. Going forward, massage reduces formation of additional or excessive scar tissue, especially when begun soon after the accident or surgery.

The value of the psychological benefits of massage during recovery and physical therapy can’t be overstated. Massage therapy induces mental relaxation as well as physical, helping you better cope with the physical pain and mental frustration of living life around an injury.  Massage has also been shown to increase energy, decrease anxiety, and aid in relaxation, all of which improves your overall sense of well-being.

If you have any questions regarding massage therapy, how it may benefit physical therapy treatment, or are curious if you would benefit from it, please contact our clinic to talk to your physical therapist today.
