Improve Your Emotional Wellness

The physical benefits of massage therapy are well-known, but did you know it can also promote emotional wellness? Massage therapy involves manually manipulating muscles and other specific soft tissues in the body to improve a person's overall health and wellness. Check out some of the emotional wellness benefits of massage therapy.

Improves Relaxation

Massage therapy promotes lasting feelings of relaxation, an elevated mood, and stress reduction. When the body is under stress, it produces an excess of cortisol. Cortisol is a well-known stress hormone that contributes to weight gain, inability to sleep, digestion problems, and headaches. There is evidence that massage therapy reduces cortisol levels in the body. With lower cortisol levels, the body can begin to heal itself. 

Enhances Concentration

Massage therapy relaxes and calms the body, which increases focus and concentration. As a result, the mind is more creative and productive. Improving your concentration can help you handle work, school, or other responsibilities more effectively. Your mind needs to remain relaxed, and massage therapy is a great way to keep your mind active while relaxing and relieving stress.

Promotes Better Sleep

Massage therapy can help with sleep by relieving pain caused by stress or injury. In a vicious cycle, pain and sleep loss can cause one another to worsen. Sleep deprivation can worsen pain, while pain itself can make getting to sleep difficult. Successful pain management may enhance sleep. Studies show that massage therapy can help manage headaches, neck and back pain, arthritis, and pain following surgery. In addition, better sleep can lead to an improvement in your overall emotional wellness.

Increases Happiness

The benefits of massage therapy range from decreasing stress to increasing brain serotonin, and together, these effects may lead to improved overall happiness. Happiness can have a plethora of benefits both for the individual and those around them.

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief.
