From migraines to muscle tension, strains, sprains and overall aches and pains — going about your life can be hard when your body hurts.
Even stress and anxiety can take a physical toll. Maybe you’ve tried over-the-counter pain relievers, but they just don’t make much difference. You might wonder if there’s any other way to find relief and feel more relaxed.
Massage therapy could be part of the answer — and become a vital part of getting some relief. At Cleveland Clinic, our licensed massage therapists use different pressures, techniques and movements to work on your muscles and other soft tissues. Your therapy sessions will be highly personalized to match your specific needs, whether you’re recovering from an injury, have chronic (ongoing) pain from an illness like cancer or need to release tension caused by stress and anxiety. Massage therapy can help promote overall wellness.

Massage therapy can help lessen pain by relieving tension and sore muscles. It can also improve circulation, lower your heart rate and blood pressure and some research suggests that it may even help your immune system work better. It can also help reduce stress, increase your energy level and even make you more alert.
When you come for your therapy session, you’ll meet with your massage therapist in a dimly lit room with gentle, soothing music playing in the background. Each session lasts a little less than an hour. Depending on the focus area of the massage and your level of comfort, you may be asked to remove specific articles of clothing or leave them on. Your massage therapist may also drape sheets over you to keep you covered as they work on you.
And depending on your personal goals for therapy, your massage therapist may use several different techniques and pressure combinations to manipulate the tissues of your body — always in a compassionate and respectful way. It’s important to remember that during treatment, if you ever feel pain that causes you discomfort, you should tell your therapist right away.
