Massage is an effective treatment for numerous issues, from neck pain to stress. Before opting for medications or pills, try the natural and indulgent approach of massage.
Can can massage fix for you? Take a peek at just a few examples below.
Neck pain
Ten neck massages over 10 weeks. Sound good? People with chronic neck pain reported a 55 percent improvement after this regimen, according to a 2009 study in the Clinical Journal of Pain. They even scored 39 percent better on the worst-sounding test ever, the Neck Disability Index. (It assesses the pain’s impact.)
Athletic performance
“Musculotendinous” massages target muscle-tendon junctions, and a 2010 study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that even a 30-second round improved hip-flexor range of motion.
Stress
You don’t need a full-body rubdown to feel good. In a 2010 study from Sweden, one 80-minute hand-and-foot massage significantly lowered people’s heart rates, cortisol levels, and insulin levels—all of which help lower stress.

Depression
Take your pick: Swedish, shiatsu, and other massage types may ease depression, a 2010 meta-analysis in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found. (How? Massages reduce stress hormone levels, heart rate, and blood pressure, and boost mood and relaxation by triggering the release of oxytocin and serotonin.
High blood pressure
A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that after people with normal blood pressure had deep-tissue massage for 45 to 60 minutes, their BPs fell—specifically, by an average of 10.4 millimeters of mercury (mm/Hg) systolic, and 5.3 mm/Hg diastolic.
Lower-back pain
Back problems can be complex. One solution is simple: Common massage techniques can help you relax, and trigger an endorphin release that raises your threshold for pain. And that might help people with all sorts of lower-back pain, notes a 2009 meta-analysis in the journal Spine.

“I first tried chiropractic because I felt something was out of place in my neck. After receiving regular chiropractic care, I soon realized that my migraine medication began piling up in my medicine cabinet. I used to suffer from debilitating migraine headaches, several times per month. Now, simply visiting Moyer Total Wellness every 3 weeks allows me to enjoy life, migraine-free!” Dr. Moyer is a highly skilled chiropractor.
Prenatal Massage is the most under-rated method for helping women during their pregnancies. Getting a massage while pregnant can reduce stress and relieve pain associated with muscle tension. Additionally, research shows that massage can improve lymph drainage (reduce swelling) and have a balancing effect on glands – both of which are a huge benefit during pregnancy. Expectant mothers experience unique physical and emotional changes that occur as a result of increased weight, shifting posture, and adjusting hormone levels – all of which may result in physical discomfort and stress. Prenatal massage is a natural therapy aimed at alleviating pregnancy related symptoms.
Muscle tension and stress decrease the nutrient absorption and slow down toxin elimination – both of which are crucial for healthy, normal cells. And, when in the process of developing a baby, those two aspects become vital for ensuring a healthy pregnancy. Maternity massage can provide an opportunity to allow outside stresses to slip away for a period, thereby allowing the cells to receive the nutrients they need and rid themselves of harmful toxins.
At Moyer Total Wellness, our experienced massage therapists choose techniques that are safe and effective for pregnant women*. Every massage is personalized to meet your therapeutic needs. The benefits of prenatal massage include:
- Reduces stress and anxiety
- Eases joint pain caused by muscular tension and shift in posture to accommodate increasing abdominal weight
- Releases endorphins
- Helps facilitate lymph drainage and increases circulation
- Promotes muscle and skin elasticity that can help reduce stretch marks
- Minimizes spider veins
- Improves digestion
- Reduces fatigue
Moyer Total Wellness also recommends omega-3 fish oil as well as choline, in addition to eating a healthy diet and taking a prenatal multi-vitamin during pregnancy. If you have questions about how to ensure a healthy pregnancy, we offer a free consultation with Dr. Moyer.
