Massage is often directed to treat both acute and chronic pain conditions, including low back pain, knee pain, osteoarthritis, neck and shoulder pain, and migraines. It is also useful for recovery from activity or injury, PTSD, and neurological conditions such as fibromyalgia. A study by the National Institute of Health (NIH) Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine found a single massage can effectively decrease levels of cortisol (the stress hormone), boost white blood cell levels, and improve levels of oxytocin, a hormone that improves mood and reduces stress.<\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-section\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"image-holder\">\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"71\" height=\"54\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/va\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/icon-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>    <\/div>\n            <h2 class=\"text-center\">What Conditions Can Be Helped by Massage?<\/h2>\n        <div class=\"twocol-layout\">\n      <div class=\"anchors-wrap\">\n                <a href=\"#\" class=\"opener-anchor\">Musculoskeletal Conditions<\/a>\n                <div class=\"slide\">\n          <ul class=\"anhors-list\">\n                        <li>\n                            <a href=\"#anchor1\" class=\"anchor-link\">Musculoskeletal Conditions<\/a>\n                          <\/li>\n                        <li>\n                            <a href=\"#anchor2\" class=\"anchor-link\">Cardiovascular Conditions<\/a>\n                          <\/li>\n                        <li>\n                            <a href=\"#anchor3\" class=\"anchor-link\">Psychological &#038; Sleep Disorders<\/a>\n                          <\/li>\n                      <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"content-wrap\">\n                <div class=\"item\">\n                    <h2 id=\"anchor1\">Musculoskeletal Conditions <\/h2>\n                              <div class=\"block  \">\n                        <strong class=\"opener\">MSK Pain<\/strong>\n                        <div class=\"txt-holder\">\n                            <p>Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain\u2014pain that affects the muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, and bones\u2014is very common, with about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boneandjointburden.org\/docs\/BMUSExecutiveSummary2016.pdf\">half of all Americans<\/a> estimated to suffer from it.<br \/>\nUntreated MSK pain can contribute to a host of adverse conditions like hypertension, obesity, and heart disease, and can worsen others, like diabetes. It has also been connected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/news-events\/news-releases\/patients-newly-diagnosed-musculoskeletal-pain-are-prescribed-opioids-more-often-recommended\">opioid abuse and addiction<\/a> and can lead to other serious health conditions like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5494581\/\">depression<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4589931\/\">insomnia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Massage has been proven through numerous studies to be an effective and safe treatment for MSK pain, <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/painmedicine\/article\/18\/7\/1394\/3069964\">improving mobility<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acpjournals.org\/doi\/10.7326\/0003-4819-155-1-201107050-00002\">reducing pain<\/a>, and unlike medication and surgery, achieving this improvement without adverse health effects.<\/p>\n<p>Massage reduces the <a href=\"https:\/\/well.blogs.nytimes.com\/2012\/02\/06\/how-massage-heals-sore-muscles\/\">body\u2019s production of cortisol,<\/a> the stress hormone, thus lowering blood pressure and muscle tension. This reduction of stress can improve mental health, promoting better sleep and reducing anxiety. In addition, some studies show that <a href=\"https:\/\/well.blogs.nytimes.com\/2012\/02\/06\/how-massage-heals-sore-muscles\/\">massage can help reduce inflammation<\/a> after extensive muscle use, and inflammation can cause acute MSK pain.<\/p>\n<p>Most studies on the efficacy of massage show that weekly massage is exponentially more effective than occasional massages.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"recomendation\">CLINICAL RECOMMENDATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ideal type of massage for treating MSK pain may depend on the location of the pain. A study of low back pain sufferers found that, both relaxation-focused Swedish massage and the more intense deep tissue massage were equally effective at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acpjournals.org\/doi\/10.7326\/0003-4819-155-1-201107050-00002\">reducing chronic back pain<\/a>. A study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science, found that for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5333006\/\">shoulder pain<\/a>, deep tissue or sports massage was more effective than gentler modalities.<\/p>\n                          <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"block  \">\n                        <strong class=\"opener\">Arthritis<\/strong>\n                        <div class=\"txt-holder\">\n                            <p>Arthritis is not just one condition but an umbrella term used to describe the swelling and inflammation of joints. Two of the most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, though other kinds exist. While arthritic conditions may have different origins, arthritis, if untreated, can lead to joint damage, impaired mobility, weight gain, increased incidence of falls, and depression or anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, many arthritic symptoms can be alleviated by massage. A 2018 study of <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s11606-018-4763-5\">patients with osteoarthritis<\/a> found a significant increase in mobility and decrease in pain in subjects who received regular whole-body massage as opposed to the control group.<\/p>\n<p>Autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, are often triggered by stress. Massage has been proven to reduce stress hormones like cortisol and induce relaxation and well-being, thus reducing stress conditions that can trigger RA flares.<\/p>\n<p>Other studies have found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3953439\/\">deep tissue massage<\/a> can effectively treat stiffness and pain in the neck and back, often as well as NSAIDs, and more so than acupuncture and health education.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"recomendation\">CLINICAL RECOMMENDATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For osteoarthritis, gentle heat therapy may decrease joint stiffness, making hot stones or a simple heating pad a beneficial addition to a massage. Gentle movement therapy, such as stretching, can also be effective.<\/p>\n<p>For rheumatoid arthritis, firmer pressure, such as that of a deep tissue massage, may be more beneficial than lighter pressure, as found in a <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23561068\/\">University of Miami study<\/a>.<\/p>\n                          <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                <div class=\"item\">\n                    <h2 id=\"anchor2\">Cardiovascular Conditions<\/h2>\n                              <div class=\"block  \">\n                        <strong class=\"opener\">Hypertension<\/strong>\n                        <div class=\"txt-holder\">\n                            <p>Hypertension\u2014or, a blood pressure reading higher than 120\/80\u2014can have a variety of causes, including age, obesity, medications, high salt consumption, smoking, lack of exercise, and even pregnancy.

So how can massage help?<\/p>\n<p>Massage is a safe and non-invasive treatment for hypertension, with multiple studies indicating it is most effective when performed regularly. A study published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24990417\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal of Human Hypertension<\/a> found that massage combined with blood pressure-lowering medication was more effective than medication alone. Another study found a weekly regimen of 2-3 massages <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16267371\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">effective in lowering blood pressure<\/a>, both systolic and diastolic pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Stress has been shown to cause short-term spikes in blood pressure, and massage has been consistently proven to reduce stress\u2014both acute and long-term. Additionally, stress can lead to behaviors that further <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/high-blood-pressure\/in-depth\/stress-and-high-blood-pressure\/art-20044190\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increase hypertension<\/a>, like smoking, drug use, and overeating, so the stress reduction of\u00a0massage will have a compound effect for those with hypertension. And what better way to abstain from unhealthy behaviors than with something as enjoyable as a massage?<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"recomendation\">CLINICAL RECOMMENDATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sudden or intense discomfort or pain can cause a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/hypertension-high-blood-pressure\/ss\/slideshow-surprising-things-raise-blood-pressure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spike in blood pressure<\/a>, so hypertension patients should opt for gentler modalities that induce a relaxation response, such as Swedish massage, instead of more active and deep pressure styles, such as sports massage.<\/p>\n                          <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                <div class=\"item\">\n                    <h2 id=\"anchor3\">Psychological &#038; Sleep Disorders<\/h2>\n                              <div class=\"block  \">\n                        <strong class=\"opener\">Depression<\/strong>\n                        <div class=\"txt-holder\">\n                            <p>Depression is a common psychological diagnosis, characterized by sadness or hopelessness, irritability, loss of interest and pleasure in activities and relationships, lethargy, abnormal sleep and dietary habits, and difficulty concentrating.<\/p>\n<p>With wide-ranging adverse secondary effects, depression is not just a disease of the mind.
