• Benefits of Massage Therapy

  • More than just feeling great, we’re delighted to provide the health benefits of massage therapy to our clients in the Wellington area. Are you having trouble sleeping? Carrying aches and pains? Perhaps your job puts you under huge amounts of stress? These are just a few of the symptoms that have been eased by the skillful hands of Fruition Massage & Stretch Therapy, but there are many more benefits, so we’ve compiled just a few more for you to read below.

    Improving posture

    The modern work environment means that most of us spend our day at a desk and working on a computer. If proper ergonomics aren’t observed, it’s easy to develop poor posture or start to aggravate certain muscle groups through repetitive movement. You’ll find that certain muscle groups start working much harder than they were designed to,causing muscle imbalances, leaving us in a cycle of overuse. Massage therapy can allow your body to return to its natural posture addressing aches and pains caused by the soft tissue.

    Improve flexibility & range of motion

    Because we can spend so much of our lives sitting down, it has become far more common for people to develop muscle injury. As we age, our inactivity can amplify the effects of a sedentary lifestyle as muscles and joints tend to tighten. Massage therapy will provide stimulation to tendons, joints and connective tissue, making you far less likely to suffer that awful stab of pain when you realize you’ve moved a bit too suddenly!

    Relieves stress

    We all lead stressful lives, but finding the time to get out of Wellington for at least a couple of days to unwind can be almost as stressful as our every day routine! Instead of trying to find a day or two, you’ll be delighted with the difference just one hour of massage therapy can make to your frame of mind.
    Why don’t you come and see us during your lunch break? You’ll be glad you did!

    Improved healing of muscle injury

    Have you ever had an injury that just won’t come right? That little sprain that you thought would be ok after a day or two is still giving you trouble weeks, maybe months later. Massage therapy stimulates circulation, increasing blood flow which aids the healing process and lymphatic flow to help ‘clean things up’. Working through any contracted muscles, connective tissue and scar tissue will help to restore the area to a good resting place, improving range or motion, that way  you are much less likely to suffer the same problem again!

    There are many more benefits to massage therapy, and it’s our desire that the people of Wellington start moving more freely, sleeping more deeply, and living free from pain! Call us for an appointment and start enjoying the benefits today!
