Can Massage Therapy actually heal the person as a whole on all levelas such as Mind, Body and spirit?
Can MT Heal a Person? Can MT cure certain illnesses? How effective is Massage Therapy in the elderly living community?
I am a Neuromuscular Therapist, Certified Personal Trainer with 20 years experience, Nutritionist and I teach college-level anatomy and physiology along with advanced structural massage therapy.
Massage therapy has many benefits, some physical, some emotional.
On a physical level, massage therapy reduces stress levels, improves circulation of blood and lymph fluid, restores range of motion to joints, and eases muscle and joint pain. When stress is relieved from the body's soft tissues the nervous system operates on a calmer level and uses less energy than a body experiencing stress.
On an emotional level, massage also is beneficial. The simple process of being touched by another human being has benefits for many people in an otherwise touch-starved world. Physical relief from pain/stress/discomfort allows the person to feel more relaxed and helps them to cope more effectively with daily stress. Endorphins released during massage also gives a person feelings of calm and well-being.
Massage works great on the living elderly, not so great if they're already deceased. Sorry, I couldn't leave that one alone!! In all seriousness, the above noted benefits work equally as well for the elderly and can improve the quality of their health and increase life expectancy.
To previous responderJohn J: numerous studies over many decades have proven conclusively the many health benefits of massage therapy. While no claims of curing diseases are being made here, many of the so-called diseases being "treated" currently with drugs and medications are completely within the realm of being alleviated or resolved with advanced massage therapy methods like NMT and Rolfing. Studies have proven that at least 80% of the physical pain people experience is a direct result of dysfunction in the body's soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments). In my own practice I see this everyday. People come to me after being diagnosed by their MD as having arthritis, fibromyalgia, neuropathy and other "diseases" only to find that more often than not the pain and dysfunction go away almost immediately simply by releasing overly tight muscles causing the pain. Structural deep massage, along with mild stretching, decompresses joints, improves circulation and allows the central nervous system to operate more efficiently. The reason massage methods like Neuromuscular Therapy are so effective is that they work within empirically established laws of physiology
( i.e. science) and are quite beyond dispute. Doctors may argue against massage therapy for many reasons, usually financial, but they CANNOT argue the basic neurological and physiological laws that support why it works. Only in the West is massage scoffed at and viewed as "quackary". Every other place on the planet has recognized and lived by the benefits of massage and other
so-called "alternative" therapies for centuries and view it as a necessary component to good health. People like you are the reason the AMA and pharmaceutical companies continue to reap obscene profits while fleecing the ignorant masses. They've successfully convinced millions of people like you that the body is incapable of healing itself without the intervention of expensive drugs and a surgeon's scalpel. They prefer to ignore fundamental human physiology and work against the body's natural design (read: impose their will) rather than respect and work within it's superior wisdom.
Incidentally, a highly regarded study performed over many years supports my claims. If you dare, read Travell and Simons two volume empirical work, "Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction- The Trigger Point Manual". It proves clinically and beyond dispute how most pain patterns originate in muscle and other soft tissues and is regularly resolved with applied massage therapy. Janet Travell was one of a growing number of open-minded MD's who now recognize that most pain can be alleviated without drugs or surgery by simply restoring the body's natural balance using massage and other non-invasive methods.
You may also be interested in researching the work of Dr.Leon Chaitow, Dr. William Sutherland, Dr. John Upledger, Paul St. John and Dr. Ida Rolf, among others. Unless, of course, you're entirely comfortable in your current mindset, namely, with your head buried firmly in a mountain of sand.
You've either decided to knowingly remain ignorant of the facts or your comments here betray an obvious bias.
