Can massage therapy help manage Multiple Sclerosis symptoms?

Massage therapy is often explored as a supportive option for people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

With nearly 1 million people in the U.S. affected, managing symptoms is a top priority.

MS can cause fatigue, pain, muscle stiffness, and mobility challenges.

While there’s no cure, treatments focus on slowing progression and improving quality of life.

Research suggests massage and other manual therapies may help:
Reduce pain and swelling,
Relax tight muscles (spasticity),
Improve circulation and mobility.

Massage therapy is generally considered safe, but it is not a replacement for medical care. Always talk with your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.

And, as a massage therapist, you must protect yourself; only the best massage therapist insurance coverage will do!

The American Massage Council offers the most affordable and reliable professional liability insurance for massage therapy coverage and more.
