Massage Therapy Helps Pre- and Post-Operative Patients

Facing an operation?  Massage can help ease the anxiety of anticipation.  Research shows even hand massage can reduce pre-operative anxiety by inducing a relaxation response.  In postoperative patients, massage therapy reduces pain intensity and level of unpleasantness, aiding in the pain reduction part of post-op healing.  Talk to your doctor about adding  massage therapy to your postoperative care.  For more information on the benefits of massage therapy, visit Kiel Unger Massage Therapy.
