If a life event, news, or illness is leaving you unusually, deeply, irreconcilably, or incorrigibly depressed, leaving you absent, disabled, or unproductive, then you may be experiencing Clinical Depression - talk with your doctor about how massage therapy may be able to assist in keeping the symptoms of Depression fewer and/or less intense - many doctors know about how massage therapy can assist in reducing the effects of Depression and will be able to refer you to a massage therapist.
Massage therapy can be a method of release of muscle memories resulting in (possibly) either physical or emotional discomfort or trauma but definitely reprogramming – the intent of the work is to balance the chemical, virtual, real, and spiritual body and the methods used to achieve balance are some of the most diverse and effective known to humans – from touch therapy (bodywork) to medical massage (soft tissue manipulation).
