Massage Therapy Program

Getting through detox presents challenges. But, you also do not know what being clean feels like. Many people experience sore muscles and joints in detox and for a long time after that as their bodies learn to function without drugs or alcohol. This is one reason why a massage therapy program works so well from even your earliest moments of sobriety.

Massage therapy comforts you, releasing muscle tension and relaxing you through the basic boost of human touch. Newly sober, you must learn how to manage your feelings and behaviors again. This makes you tense, leading to headaches, sore muscles, and other symptoms of tension. Many people also suffer co-occurring anxiety, depression, or other mental health disorders which can cause added stress.

Holistic therapies like massage therapy treat your mind, body, and spirit at the same time. Massage opens you up to human touch again, after a long period of feeling isolated, antisocial, and even traumatized. Through a massage therapy program treatment, you do not have to rely on words to gain comfort for your symptoms.

Specific Benefits of Massage Therapy in Detox and Rehab

Massage as a holistic method of detox and rehab helps in many ways. Specific benefits and effects of massage during this important time include:

The release of serotonin and dopamine, your natural feel-good chemicals

• Cortisol stress level decrease
• Reduction of heart rate and BP
• Reduced agitation and anxiety
• Better sleep and drug-free healing
• Removal of metabolic waste through the lymph system
• Reconnection to your body and physical awareness

One of the most important benefits of massage is that of building trust. For far too long you have kept yourself distant from others. So during the massage, you realize you benefit from closeness to others. This actually rewires your brain to respond positively to physical touch.

Many people experience emotional changes during massage therapy program treatment. This emotional response ranges from sadness and crying to happiness and more relaxed, restful sleep.
