Monday, June 15th, 2009
Most people think of massage therapy as a great way to relax, but did you know that massage therapy is being used more and more for recovery from surgery, and relief from chronic pain.
Massage therapy has become very popular in the NFL, Major League Baseball, and most noteably the Olympics, all have massage therapists and other holistic healers working with them, and for good reason.
John Franco long time pitcher for the New York Mets used massage therapy during recovery from major arm surgery at the end of his career.
He claims that he received great releif and faster recovery time from his massage therapy sessions.
John Franco is not alone, even in a down economy massage therapy is expected to grow up until the year 2014, with the majority of the growth in the “medical” or chronic pain market.
As people learn more about massage and the benefits they can receive, it will continue to grow even more.
