Many of us are guilty of running to the doctor for pain meds whenever we have physical pain but, that doesn't always work. Did you know that pain relievers and aspirin actually just numbens the pain and doesn't solve the problem. Yes, it seems as if the pain is gone and everything is right with the world but, did you ever wonder how the medicine knew where to go or did it just feel like your medicine only masked the pain? There are times when you should go to the doctor but, if you are only suffering from muscular distress, massage may just be the better choice. Ruling out this natural remedy may just cause you more stress on your body and it would be much more inexpensive if you just decide to visit your therapist.
There are also times when visiting your therapist isn't good. If you are suffering from a cold, flu or some other condition massage will have to wait. Getting a massage during a healing process actual heightens the sickness making it worst for the patient. Also, clients with chronic issues and physical ailments should visit a Physical Therapist, a Chiropractor or a Medical Doctor. When dealing with these conditions, a Massage Therapist may only add to the pain experienced by the client.
All in all, you should know your body. Feel it out and listen to what it is telling you. Receiving a massage may be just what you need instead of the common alternative.
