I have been asked to do a post on the benefits of massage for people who have MS MS affects around 100,000 people in the uk alone most people receive an MS diagnosis between the ages of 20 and 40 the condition effects around three times as many women as it does men The symptoms of MS can vary from one person to another and can change over time in the same person Many people with MS receive regular massage therapy to help them relax and reduce stress and depression which can exacerbate the disease Livestrong reports that many people with MS may experience pain due to some symptoms massage has proven effective at treating chronic pain because it increases your production of serotonin which is a natural pain killer in addition massage promotes circulation and boosts relaxation Along with stress reduction massage can help increase flexibility which improves your mobility and can help reduce muscle stiffness As with any complementary therapy treatment this would go along side any conventional medicine or treatment your doctor has prescribed or adviced please speak to your doctor before embarking on a course of therapies
