Having Surgery? Book A Massage!

Most patients experience anxiety in the days and weeks before a scheduled surgical procedure. Massage therapy has been shown to decrease all measurable signs of anxiety, producing a relaxation response and improving immune system function. After surgery, with doctor's approval, massage can aid in the recovery process. Whether it is joint replacement surgery, heart surgery,  or cancer surgery, studies support post-surgical massage therapy's effectiveness in improving range of motion, reducing pain and scarring, and allowing the body's own healing process to work at top capacity. Are you or a loved one anticipating surgery? Consider scheduling massage therapy sessions before and after, with your doctor's blessing.
