Massage THERAPY
At Neuro Therapy Nashville we take a holistic approach to neurological rehab. Stress, anxiety, depression — these things can make your rehab, and life in general, more difficult than they have to be. We also understand the particular stresses experienced by caregivers. Because of this, we offer traditional massage therapy sessions.
Massage Therapy releases tension and toxins in the muscles, reducing levels of cortisol in the body. Cortisol is a stress hormone that is very important in stressful situations, but can has very adverse effects if it stays too high for too long. High Cortisol levels have been linked to high blood pressure, fatigue, impaired brain function (brain fog) and can also negatively impact neuroplasticity.
Reducing cortisol can help improve energy levels, mood, and sleep in people with neurological injury. It can also help to decrease depression, pain, and tension as well as improve circulation. Every Massage Therapist working with Neuro Therapy Nashville has extensive experience and training in addressing the specific needs of those affected by stroke, brain injury, and other neurological conditions.
