Inpatient Massage Therapy Services
Inpatients have the option of experiencing a Swedish massage in their room with permission from their physician/mid-level provider. Some benefits of having a massage during your hospital stay are:
- Decreases perception of pain and anxiety
- Decreases muscle soreness by increasing local circulation and oxygen to contracted muscle tissues, thus allowing the muscle fibers to relax.
- Increases sense of well-being and improves sleep patterns
- Improves body image and body acceptance
- Stimulates the immune system through movement of lymph fluid
- Eases back pain and sciatica (especially during pregnancy)
