THE BENEFITS OF MASSAGE THERAPY
Current research shows that massage therapy can help the body heal itself. Increased circulation, relaxed muscles, improved lymph flow, decreased pain and reduced stress are just a few of the key benefits you’ll experience from a therapeutic medical massage.
The combination of Physiotherapy and massage therapy enhances the patients “wellness program” as both disciplines complement each other and strive to achieve the same goal. Through a variety of massage therapy techniques and styles the licensed massage therapists at MM PHYSIO on Cambridge meet with their clients, evaluate the client’s condition and concerns, and discuss what type of massage will bring about the best results.
