Medical Massage Therapy has been a licensed profession under the supervision of the Medical Board of the State of Ohio since 1916. Licensed Medical Massage Therapists must complete extensive training in massage techniques, anatomy, physiology, pathology/ physical dysfunction and ethics at an approved school before they are eligible to sit for the Ohio licensure exam.
Massage helps to prevent and facilitate healing after many types of injury and illness and helps to maintain physical function for clients with many types of chronic health concerns.
All Massage Therapists in Ohio learn Swedish massage, techniques which have been practiced in the United States and Europe for well over a hundred years. This type of massage provides beneficial effects to the body, including:
- improves and maintains muscle flexibility
- decreases stress hormone levels in the bloodstream
- relieves excess tension in the muscles
- calms the nervous system or wakes it up (depending on how applied)
- aids the body to remove toxins and waste products
- improves immune system response
- increases blood flow through the muscles and skin
- aids digestion and elimination
- decreases swelling
- softens scars
