Diabetes can cause poor circulation and nerve damage, known as diabetic neuropathy, which leads to numbness, tingling, and pain—especially in the feet. Massage therapy offers gentle, research-backed support to improve blood flow and ease symptoms for Port St. Lucie residents managing diabetes.
How Massage Helps
- Stimulates Circulation: Improves capillary flow and oxygen delivery.
- Reduces Nerve Pain: Calms overactive nerves through touch.
- Lowers Stress Hormones: Helps regulate blood glucose levels (Moraska & Pollini, 2010).
- Promotes Tissue Healing: Enhances nutrient delivery and reduces inflammation.
A 2015 study by Yuenyongchaiwat found that foot massage improved circulation and sensation in diabetic patients over just four weeks.
