We absolutely love this list of benefits for getting a massage. It’s comprehensive and all-inclusive.
The list was compiled by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). You can find the complete list here.
At Advance Alternatives Massage Therapy in Tallahassee, it’s our job to help our patient receive these benefits. Some of our patients see us because they simply want to indulge in a soothing, relaxing massage. Others visit our office because they’re looking for faster recovery after exercise or high impact sports and want to maintain a certain level of health. And many of our patients are seeing us because we’re helping them recover from an injury or medical issue.
Regardless of why you’re visiting, here are the core benefits you’ll receive.

Many of these benefits are related to massage therapy performed after one of our clients has been in a car accident or take a stumble. Personal injuries like the ones handled by attorney Jon Herskowitz in Miami can have clients booking treatment sessions. If you’re hurt, massage is not only good for making muscles feel better, but for getting those muscles active again and helping to work through tightness and inflammation.
