Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy: More Than Just Relaxation

The benefits of massage therapy are far-reaching and diverse. An accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage has also proven beneficial for chronic conditions such as lower back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue and high blood pressure.

 

 

 

Other benefits of massage include:

  • Enhanced immune system
  • Decreased depression and anxiety
  • Better workout recovery
  • Reduced migraine pain
  • Shortened labor for expectant mothers
  • Reduced post-surgery adhesions and swelling

Tree of Life Health Ministries has three massage therapists on staff: Charity Shenk, Sheri Heagy and Lisa Kreider. Listen to the following interview with Lisa Kreider to learn more about massage therapy, or read about each of our massage therapists below. Click here for a library of all resources.
