Chronic inflammation is more than just swelling—it’s often at the root of pain, fatigue, joint stiffness, and immune dysfunction. Whether you’re managing an autoimmune condition, recovering from injury, or simply feeling puffy and tender, addressing inflammation is key to healing.

At Longwell Massage Therapy, we combine massage therapy with Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) to gently support the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response—without medication or invasive treatment.

🔥 What Causes Inflammation?

Your body uses inflammation to heal, but when it becomes chronic, it can lead to:

Joint pain and stiffness
Fatigue or brain fog
Gut issues and bloating
Muscle soreness or tension
Systemic conditions like arthritis or long-COVID

💆‍♀️ How Massage Helps to Reduce Inflammation Naturally

Massage therapy may reduce inflammation naturally by:

Increasing lymphatic flow to clear cellular waste and fluid
Releasing muscular tension, which improves circulation
Reducing stress, which lowers cortisol and inflammatory chemicals
Improving mobility, so less stagnation builds in the tissues

Gentle techniques like lymphatic drainage massage and myofascial release, as well as more structural work like neuromuscular therapy and trigger point therapy, are ideal for inflammatory conditions.
