Full Body Massage

Full body massage will typically include the back, legs, arms, head, shoulders, and feet. Some providers may also offer a glute massage as part of your full-body treatment, but you’ll be able to discuss this with your therapist beforehand if you’d rather opt out.

A full body massage benefits people with musculoskeletal disease and chronic pain. In their bodies, this complementary therapy triggers several changes.

1) Relaxation of muscle tension and perceived pain sensation.

2) An increase in immune function, mainly through natural killer cell activity.

3) Reduction of heart rate and improvements in the EEG.

4) Decreased levels of stress hormone (cortisol) in the body.

5) Changes in brain centers such as the hypothalamus and the amygdala. These centers are useful to regulate emotion.
