The benefit of receiving a massage for chronic pain is decreasing the symptoms of pain. Massage helps to relieve pain by increasing blood circulation, interrupting the pain cycle and releasing endorphins.

Massage helps to decrease tension in the muscles. Muscles often tighten up around painful areas to protect them. Tight muscles can put pressure on nerves, causing numbness, tingling and pain. Massage increases the blood flow, relaxing the muscles therefore decreasing tension. Once tension is decreased pain is reduced.

Massage also helps to increase range of movement. When muscles get tight, connective tissues can form in areas with poor circulation. Connective tissues can become stuck to muscle fibers and interfere with normal movement. Massage can use a variety of techniques to stretch and loosen muscles and connective tissues. Massage stretches tight muscles, releasing trigger points and restoring the body's ability to move more easily.

Receiving a massage for chronic pain can also help improve recovery. Massage helps reduce pain and assists the body's self-healing process. Injury that causes pain can be reduced by healing damaged tissues and decreasing inflammation. Massage helps to speed up the recovery process and improve healing quicker.

However, it is also used on the arms, for example in the case of tennis elbow, or the feet, such as with plantar fasciitis. The increased pressure helps to alleviate any soreness or imbalance caused by injury or tenseness. If you have anxiety or are suffering with stress, a deep tissue massage will help to release the tension you are carrying in your body as a result.

A deep tissue massage typically lasts for 60 minutes to 90 minutes. It is an intense massage technique, but you shouldn’t experience any pain.
