Massage Therapy Health Benefits
Massage therapy at Coastal Natural therapies on the Gold Coast, can be utilised to treat a number of illnesses or injuries and we use the treatments most beneficial to you. Beyond the instant result of reduced tension and lowered stress levels, recent research has shown just how beneficial massage can be for health improvements. Studies have proven that massage can lead to:
- A reduction in the stress hormone cortisol
- A decrease in Cytokine proteins related to inflammation and allergic reactions
- A boost in white blood cells to fight infection
- Decrease stiffness and increase range of motion
“There is emerging evidence that [massage] can make contributions in treating things like pain, where conventional medicine doesn’t have all the answers,” said Jack Killen, NCCAM’s deputy director.
We focus on pain relief and rehabilitation and specialise in musculoskeletal, advanced deep tissue, remedial and relaxation techniques to restore each patient to optimal health.
