Benefits of Massage

Massage is more than a moment of indulgence. When received regularly, it is a drug-free, non-invasive way to care for both body and mind. Even one hour set aside after a busy week can ease tension and help you get more out of your day.

At Element Massage, our team of physiotherapists and expert massage therapists plans every session around your needs. Some of the most common benefits of regular massage are:

Supports circulation

Rhythmic strokes increase blood flow to the tissues, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and easing fatigue.

Reduces muscle tension and stiffness

Long hours of sitting, hard work or stress can leave muscles knotted. Massage helps tight and overused muscles relax.

Improves flexibility and range of motion

As muscles and connective tissue relax, joints move more freely; everyday movement becomes easier and cramps may ease.

Reduces stress and calms the mind

During a massage the body releases feel-good hormones. The mind settles and feelings of tension and anxiety soften.

Contributes to better sleep

A relaxed body and mind can help you fall asleep more easily and enjoy more restful sleep.

Relief for lower back, back and neck discomfort

For discomfort linked to posture or desk work, massage can bring relief by easing tension in the area.

Faster recovery after exercise

Massage supports muscle recovery after intense training; sports massage can help you maintain performance and reduce the risk of injury.

Support for tension-related headaches

Releasing tension in the neck and shoulders may help ease tension-type headaches.

Supports the lymphatic system

Gentle, directed strokes support lymph flow and the body’s natural renewal process.

Note: Massage is not a substitute for medical treatment. If you have a chronic condition, recent surgery or are pregnant, we recommend consulting your doctor and informing your therapist before your session.
