Sharratt Chiropractic Explains the Benefits of Massage Therapy and the Healthy, Loving Touch

BATAVIA, Ill., April 02, 2017 -- Touch is one of the "five languages of love," but it turns out that it can do even more than increase the emotional bond between people. Professional massage reduces anxiety, relieves soreness, improves immune function, increases the amount of neuropeptides (essential neurotransmitters) in the brain, and more. For this reason, many healthcare professionals, including those at Sharratt Chiropractic, recommend it for their patients.

Massages are very relaxing, soothing, and reduce the stress levels of clients. What many people don't realize is that this, at least in part, is due to the physical benefits the experience brings. Many individuals with fibromyalgia, TMJ, sports injuries, diabetic neuropathy, whiplash, carpal tunnel, sciatica, and other conditions experience great relief when they receive professional massages regularly.

Professional massage takes this concept to the next level by using techniques that have proven to be beneficial over many years. This is why people typically feel better after just one session and see even larger improvements after several. It is also the reason that massage is a part of many therapy regimens.

"Massage therapy works wonders because it brings about a wide variety of beneficial changes in the body. The immediate physical aspect relaxes muscles and improves the flow of blood and lymph. Chemically, the level of cortisol in the body drops and neuropeptides increase. Emotionally, patients find relief from anxiety. They relax well, and this shows up in terms of feelings of well-being as well as physical markers like lowered blood pressure and pulse rates. Because it provides so many benefits, we consider it an essential part of any holistic program," explained chiropractor Dr. Jack Sharratt.

The clinic has a wide variety of massage options, and these are recommended for the treatment of specific conditions and concerns. Some of these are reflexology, lymphatic drainage, and athletic massages. There are also options for pregnant women and those who have recently delivered babies. Massages can be booked as a single massage appointment, as part of a massage package, or through their annual or semi-annual massage club. Massages are available in 30-, 45-, 60-, or 90-minute sessions.
