8 Incredible
Benefits Massage Therapy Can Give You
Loosen TMJ - Temporomandibular Joint, or TMJ as it’s known, is the hinge where your lower jaw bone attaches to your skull. TMJ disorder causes pain in the joint and surrounding muscles. A TMJ massage will relieve the painful and uncomfortable side effects that come with TMJ disorder. Those side effects include:
- Tender Jaw
- Pain in or around the ear
- Lock Jaw
- Pain when chewing
-Tinnitus (ringing/buzzing in the ear)
Immune System - Massage will help boost your immune system. In 2010, Cedars-Sinai’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences did a study on the benefits of massage therapy. Each participant had to rest for approximately 30 minutes before the massage, and then had blood drawn at intervals before and after the massage. The results showed that having a massage increased your white blood cells.
Sleep - Receiving regular massage treatments can help to improve your sleep quality and quantity. Massage will help elevate your serotonin and dopamine levels which will help you sleep better and longer.
Circulation and Blood Pressure - Massage helps to increase blood flow throughout your body, which in turn will help with your circulation. Receiving regular massages will help to maintain this benefit. Along with increasing blood circulation, massage can also reduce blood pressure. By allowing your body to fully relax, you will notice better circulation and then lowered blood pressure as a result.
Stress, Anxiety, and Depression - Massage puts the body in a deep state of relaxation which helps to reduce stress and anxiety. Many people also see a decrease in symptoms of depression.
Muscle Tightness and Flexibility - From sports injuries to tension due to stress, massage will help reduce pain in your muscles. Increased blood flow to the area during and after massage helps to loosen stiff muscles and allow for increased flexibility.
Mood and Wellbeing - Because massage helps your body to release dopamine, it can help to improve your mood and wellbeing. Along with the other benefits, you can enjoy long-lasting benefits that will maintain your overall wellbeing.
Prenatal Massage- Along with several of the above listed benefits, pregnancy massage can also provide a set of it’s own benefits. Did you know that regular massage can help with hormone regulation? It can also minimize swelling and relieve pain and stress related to pregnancy.

The term "Ashi" in Japanese refers to the foot, while "atsu" signifies pressure. Ashiatsu therapy, on the other hand, is a technique for massaging with bare feet, where the therapist applies deep, broad, and consistent pressure by utilizing their feet and body weight. To facilitate the process, parallel bars are securely positioned above the treatment table, enabling the therapist to work with gravity, thereby promoting spinal elongation and enhancing circulation.
