It will never take the place of general or specialized medicine, but it can add to the benefits of medical treatment. It is worthy to note that several widely known medical institutions regularly promote massage as a critical piece in care and cancer treatment.
Massage therapy is also recognized as a helpful remedy for insomnia, anxiety, depression, headaches, TMJ, carpal tunnel, shin splints, bursitis, asthma, constricted breathing, circulation, and many other illnesses.
Massage therapy is not just for medical purposes! It can offer relaxation to a stressful day, and has also been known to reduce acne, cellulite, and even weight loss. One of the most important advantages of massage therapy is that it can strengthen the immune system.
Being a Massage Therapist and Instructor at Pinnacle Career Institute has been very rewarding. I have had a tremendous opportunity to see massage therapy take off with such demand.
It is a powerful form of treatment not only offered in wellness spas, but also adopted by professional and high school sports organizations, senior care centers, and rehabilitation facilities. The future looks bright, and it is a great time to explore a career in massage therapy.
