Massage does wonders for the mind, body, and soul.

As massage therapists, we are in an excellent position to help Veterans take control of their health and wellness.

How Massage Therapy Makes a Difference for Veterans
Chronic pain: Massage therapy treatments help stimulate blood flow to parts of the body experiencing pain, which helps promote the release of natural painkillers; since massage therapy results in relaxation, overall chronic pain conditions can be managed with treatments.
Depression: When a Veteran is experiencing elevated levels of depression, massage therapy can help alleviate the physical symptoms, such as back pain, body aches, sluggishness, and even more.
Anxiety: Swedish massage therapy treatment successfully reduces the symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Veterans often experience complicated symptoms of Anxiety linked to PTSD and homelessness, which can increase the risk of suicide. A regular massage therapy treatment plan helps mediate these symptoms.
Insomnia: is a common issue among the general population, but it is an even more significant problem for Veterans. A study showed that more than half of the veterans have significantly higher levels of insomnia. Regular massage therapy treatments improve sleep for military veterans, especially those suffering from lower back pain, fibromyalgia, insomnia, pain, and other health conditions.
Physical Benefits of
Massage Therapy for Veterans
Massage therapy helps stretch muscles, increase flexibility, and improve posture so that they stay in shape. When using sports massage, we will focus on helping your muscles recover and preparing them for strenuous use to avoid aches and stiffness before they happen.
For veterans, transitioning back to civilian life is challenging, especially after injuries, aches, and pains sustained in action. Massage helps break down adhesions and scar tissue caused by injuries, wounds, and physical exertion to reduce recovery time.
Massage also improves lymphatic circulation, which helps flush out toxins that might have been built up when exposed to chemicals, fumes, and toxins while serving.
Mental Benefits of
Massage Therapy for Veterans
Military service takes a heavy mental toll on our service men and women, especially after deployment overseas. Few people know how prevalent mental health conditions can be, such as Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), among active duty military and veterans.
According to studies, 1 in 4 active duty members showed signs of a mental health condition, and the rates of depression are five times higher in active duty military and veterans than in civilians.
Massage therapy helps to reduce symptoms of depression, Anxiety, and other mental health conditions by decreasing heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels while encouraging the production of critical neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin.
