Innovative Detox Center in Florida Incorporates Massage Therapy
Countless studies have been done that demonstrate the benefits of massage therapy. The experts at the Mayo Clinic say, “Massage can be a powerful tool to help you take charge of your health and well-being.”
At Spring Gardens, a leader among upscale detox centers in Florida, we agree. And we are proud to offer our clients professional massage therapy as part of the detoxification process.
As the Mayo Clinic points out, “Massage is no longer available only through luxury spas and upscale health clubs. Today, massage therapy is offered in businesses, clinics, hospitals and even airports.”
The experts at the Mayo Clinic – which is dedicated to a mission to inspire hope and contribute to health and well-being by providing the best care to every patient through integrated clinical practice, education and research and which puts an emphasis on placing the needs of the patient first – goes on to say:
“Massage is generally considered part of complementary and alternative medicine. It’s increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.
Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.
While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found massage may also be helpful for:
- Anxiety
- Digestive disorders
- Fibromyalgia
- Headaches
- Insomnia related to stress
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Soft tissue strains or injuries
- Sports injuries
- Temporomandibular joint pain
Beyond the benefits for specific conditions or diseases, some people enjoy massage because it often produces feelings of caring, comfort and connection.”
The Mayo Clinic also reports on what you can expect during a massage:
“You don’t need any special preparation for massage. Before a massage therapy session starts, your massage therapist should ask you about any symptoms, your medical history and what you’re hoping to get out of massage. Your massage therapist should explain the kind of massage and techniques he or she will use.
In a typical massage therapy session, you undress or wear loose-fitting clothing. Undress only to the point that you’re comfortable. You generally lie on a table and cover yourself with a sheet. You can also have a massage while sitting in a chair, fully clothed. Your massage therapist should perform an evaluation through touch to locate painful or tense areas and to determine how much pressure to apply.
Depending on preference, your massage therapist may use oil or lotion to reduce friction on your skin. Tell your massage therapist if you might be allergic to any ingredients.
A massage session may last from 10 to 90 minutes, depending on the type of massage and how much time you have. No matter what kind of massage you choose, you should feel calm and relaxed during and after your massage.
If a massage therapist is pushing too hard, ask for lighter pressure. Occasionally you may have a sensitive spot in a muscle that feels like a knot. It’s likely to be uncomfortable while your massage therapist works it out. But if it becomes painful, speak up.”
At Spring Gardens Florida detox center, we believe that massage therapy can be extremely helpful to those going through detoxification. Not only can massage reduce stress and relieve pain, it can also stimulate your circulation. This recruits your body’s own natural systems to aid in the detoxification process.
