Research shows that a massage can reduce stress, pain and muscle tension. It is also effective for treating anxiety, headaches, digestive disorders, insomnia, sports injuries and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain.
That is why the Sun Health Center for Health & Wellbeing recently added licensed massage therapist Susan Casaccio to the team.
Susan first discovered the benefits of massage after her oldest son injured his back and she gave him back rubs to help him heal. Susan then enrolled at the Cortiva Institute Massage Therapy School in the Chicago area, and graduated from the program in 2016.
At the Center, she primarily uses massage to provide stress relief and treat specific health conditions.
Types of massage offered at the Center
- Swedish massage uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping.
- Deep massage uses slower, more-forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.
- Sports massage is used for preventing or treating sports’ injuries.
- Trigger point massage focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form from injuries or overuse.
