Neuro Massage Benefits
What is Neuro Massage?
Neuro Massage is an inclusive, person-centred approach to massage therapy that supports people living with neurological conditions, injuries, disabilities, or complex health needs.
Our therapists use their training and experience to adapt massage appropriately – always working within professional scope, insurance, and qualifications. While the massage techniques themselves are not unusual, what makes Neuro Massage different is the therapist’s understanding of how various conditions present in the body, and how to offer safe, respectful, and effective care.
People come to Neuro Massage for many reasons – comfort, relaxation, improved body awareness, or simply a chance to be cared for in a way that meets their needs. Every session is adapted to the person, not the condition.
How Neuro Massage May Help
Pain Reduction
- Reduce general aches and pains – as the body responds to the gentle massage applied by the therapist, unpleasant aches and pains will decrease.
- Delay of muscular atrophy – Spasms due to inactivity and muscle tightness can also be reduced.
Improve Muscle Tone
- Improved circulation and reduced fluid reduction – extremities such as hands, legs and feet may appear less swollen and the skin colour much improved as collections of fluid are redirected as the general circulation improves.
- Improved muscle tone – as the muscles are massaged, flexibility improves. At the same time, the range of motion available in joints increases.
IMproved Circulation
- Improved digestion – as the whole body relaxes and stress is relieved, digestion improves and constipation is alleviated.
- Increased blood and lymph circulation – this is due to the stimulation of the circulatory system.
- Positive impact upon the central nervous system – as the body relaxes, the central nervous system responds.
Reduced Stress
- Better relaxation and stress reduction – muscular spasms will be more controlled and stress generally reduced.
- Help with emotional wellbeing and bonding – tactile stimulation can help to increase trust, creating a platform for more sociable behaviour.
- Improved sleep – as the nervous system becomes more relaxed, sleep patterns should improve and insomnia reduce.
