Massage Therapy in Gaithersburg / Rockville

Here at our office in Gaithersburg Maryland massage therapy is one of the more popular treatments for relaxation and stress reduction.
You may have noticed the increase in the use of therapeutic massage as an important and valuable means of treating many of the physical ailments people are suffering from today. While some may get massages only because it is relaxing, there are actually specific reasons why massage is generally beneficial to your health.
Massage encourages the feeding and development of the muscular system by stimulating its circulation and cell activity. A full-body massage causes the muscles to become both firmer and more elastic, while muscles too weak to be used voluntarily can be strengthened by a massage treatment. Massage is also an effective means of relaxing tense muscles and releasing muscle spasms.
The supply of blood to the muscles is proportionate to their activity. It is estimated that blood passes three times faster through muscles being massaged than through muscles at rest. Particular massage movements create a pumping action that forces the venous blood and lymph onward, and brings a fresh supply of blood to the muscles. Massage aids in the removal of metabolic waste products and helps nourish surrounding tissues.
Muscle tissue that has been injured heals more quickly, and with less scarring and adhesions when massage is applied regularly. Massage can have a positive effect on the range of motion of limbs that had previously been constrained by tissue injury, inflammation, muscle tension, or strain.
We offer various forms of massage here at our Gaithersburg wellness center including therapeutic, deep tissue, neuromuscular, and cranial sacral. Check our list of services for other related treatments such as shiatsu, raindrop technique (aromatherapy) and reflexology.
