When your doctor mentions that you need to start preparing for surgery, I will guess that you won't see massage as one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself. Well, you are not alone, this is unfortunate because the healing effect of the massage is huge.

Massage therapy is used for endless diseases including insomnia, muscle aches, anxiety, circulatory problems, and recovery from injury or surgery.

Even the goal of self-massage technology is that reflexology points to the hands and feet, affecting the head, neck, sinuses, and many other parts of the body and the organs that benefit. Massage is particularly effective when used as a surgical preparation and surgical recovery, especially as part of a bone or muscle reconstruction procedure.

Before surgery, massage can resolve most of the anxiety and tension associated with the intended surgery. Massage helps patients reduce stress and reduce their expectations for pain. This reduction in stress promotes general well-being and enhances the patient's ability to heal faster and with fewer complications.

After surgery, massage therapy is a good supplement and can even replace other pain and recovery treatments, such as painkillers, sometimes causing unpleasant side effects. There are several reasons why post-surgical massage is beneficial. On the one hand, massage can improve the circulation of blood and lymph in the body, increase the oxygenation of body tissues and organs, and reduce swelling and stiffness. In addition, the simple fact that we all need and benefit from human touch involves massage therapy and explains most of its physical and mental treatment qualities.

Although the benefits of massage are enormous, there are several main reasons why massage therapy is generally not used or recommended by a doctor. One reason is that many insurance plans do not include the cost of massage therapy. Another reason is that massage is often considered a simple, under-researched treatment.
