What Is Reiki Massage and Why Should You Get One?

What Is Reiki Massage?

Since both massage therapy and Reiki therapy are so helpful, a hybrid called Reiki massage has become increasingly popular. In this treatment, practitioners combine regular massage with energy healing Reiki techniques to provide patients with the best of both worlds.

They combine hand positions and light to moderate touch to promote healing, reduce stress, and alleviate pain. 

Depending on the patient and their preferences, there can be more or less vigorous muscle manipulation.

This is especially great for those looking for a gentler experience but still want the benefits of massages. 

Reiki Benefits: Why You Should Try Reiki Therapy 

Reiki has many benefits and is used for everything, from pain reduction and controlling anxiety to improving respiration rate and decreasing blood pressure.

Reiki has also been shown to help boost mood and improve sleep.

One study in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine showed how Reiki could help with depression, anxiety, stress, and poor sleep.

As such, it’s been embraced by those with mental health struggles and issues with both stress and sleeping. 

Reiki healing’s link to reducing abnormal blood pressure has also made it a widespread complementary practice for hypertension patients.

Additionally, while Reiki and Reiki massage have not been shown to improve outcomes from diseases, such as cancer, they have been linked to reduced pain and fatigue in cancer patients.

Thus, Reiki and Reiki massage therapy can be part of a comprehensive wellness and pain management plan.
