OURA Detects Therapeutic Benefits of Massage

To the wise and discerning Rosewood client this comes as no surprise…massage is effective. But having proof validates our knowing, doesn’t it?

I was thinking about the topic of massage as therapy for a few weeks and then a client shared that her Oura ring detected therapeutic benefit to her session. After asking permission to share her results I began composing.

My client shared:
“Check out the screenshots of my Oura Ring score after our session. Notice my readiness score went from 84 to 91. Pretty neat.”

That restorative time gave her a 7 point jump in her readiness score. Pretty impressive!

Ways massage provides benefit (AMTA, 2021a):
• Cancer-related fatigue
• Low back pain
• Osteoarthritis of the knee
• Reducing post-operative pain
• Boosting the body’s immune system functioning
• Decreasing the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome
• Lowering blood pressure
• Reducing headache frequency
• Easing alcohol withdrawal symptoms
• Decreasing pain in cancer patients
• Fibromyalgia relief
• Migraine relief
• Treating muscle stiffness or spasms
• Injury recovery or prevention
• Pregnancy and pre-natal topics
• Effects on general well-being
• PTSD symptom management
• Autism in children
• Treating depression

According to the 24th annual consumer survey sponsored by the American Massage Therapy Association, 75% of individuals surveyed claimed their primary reason for receiving a massage in the previous 12 months was health or wellness (49%). The reported medical reasons included massage for pain relief, muscle soreness, stiffness, or spasms

63% of consumers received a massage for health and wellness reasons, with pain relief, pain management, soreness, stiffness, spasms, relaxation, and stress reduction being the primary reasons that consumers sought out massage.

I am glad to see that almost half of the population recognizes and seeks out the help of a massage therapist for these conditions. Massage is non-invasive, effective, and as my client’s Oura ring told us, restorative.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A CLIENT.
I APPRECIATE YOU!
See you in the clinic soon!!
