Lake Success Massage Therapy Speeds Healing and Relieves Pain

Massage has been an important part of natural healing and alternative medical treatments for over 4,000 years. The Ancient Chinese believed that the human touch was emotionally and physically healing, and that the right combination of movements and pressure could restore balance to the body and cure sickness. Today, there are over 100 different types of massage techniques. At Energy Health Group, our massage therapy treatments relieve chronic pain, promote internal healing and restore balance to the body.

Massage Therapy Helps Lake Success and New Hyde Park Patients Relax

Our talented massage therapists combine elements from several styles of treatment to tailor therapy sessions to the specific needs of each patient. Trigger point massage, for example applies pressure to alleviate muscle pain and spasms. In myofascial release, gentle pressure is applied to relax and stretch muscles and connective tissues. For active individuals, sports massage can enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury.

While each style of massage offers its own unique benefits, all styles of treatment relieve pain and promote internal healing. A calm and gentle touch naturally invites our bodies to relax, reducing trapped tension in our muscles. Deep, invigorating kneading releases trapped lactic acid and other toxins that build up in the muscles, allowing fresh, oxygenated blood to enter. During a massage, your blood pressure and heart rate will decrease, as your body enters a state of rest and calm. The production of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, also decreases. Massage treatments also enhance well being by stimulating the release of natural painkillers and mood elevators, known as endorphins.

If you suffer from back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, or another musculoskeletal problem, we recommend massage for pain relief. Massage therapy is a patient-proven, non-invasive treatment that can reduce pain and speed recovery time. It can also relieve depression in people with chronic fatigue, ease constipation, and reduce swelling. Massage clears the mind of cluttered thoughts, allowing us to center and re-focus our attention, which enhances mental alertness. Following a massage treatment, you should feel relaxed, balanced and focused.
