What is Massage?
Massage therapy, an age-old practice rooted in various cultures, offers a plethora of health benefits, both mental and physical. By applying structured or unstructured pressure, tension, motion, or vibration to the body, massage can alleviate a range of ailments. One of the primary benefits of massage is its effectiveness in reducing muscle tension and pain. By targeting specific muscle groups, massage therapy can ease stiffness and improve mobility. This is particularly beneficial for those suffering from chronic pain conditions like arthritis or lower back pain. The manipulation of soft tissues enhances blood circulation, which not only aids in muscle recovery but also promotes the healing of injuries.
Stress reduction is another significant benefit. The soothing effect of massage can lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, while boosting the production of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine – neurotransmitters that play a key role in mood regulation. This can lead to improved emotional well-being and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Additionally, massage therapy can enhance the immune system’s function. By stimulating the lymphatic system, massage helps in the removal of toxins and increases the flow of lymph, which is rich in immune cells. This can lead to improved overall health and resistance to illness. Moreover, for those struggling with insomnia or poor sleep quality, massage can be beneficial. Massage can help promote relaxation and reduce stress, and it can help improve sleep patterns, which are essential for overall health and well-being. In summary, massage therapy offers multifaceted health benefits, including pain relief, stress reduction, improved circulation and immune function, and better sleep quality, making it a valuable tool for enhancing physical and mental health.

How can massage therapy help me?
Massage can relieve chronic pain, muscle tension, stress, and fatigue, while also promoting better sleep, circulation, and overall wellness. Lymphatic drainage massage may also support immune health and detoxification.
How should I prepare for my massage?
Wear comfortable clothing and arrive a few minutes early to discuss your health goals.
For lymphatic drainage massage, it’s recommended to:
– Hydrate well before and after your session
– Avoid alcohol or caffeine before your massage
– Eat lightly prior to your appointment
– Engage in gentle movement and deep breathing after your session to support drainage
Each massage at Austin Transformational Health begins with a brief consultation with Kimett Riddle, LMT, to review your health history and goals. You’ll be guided to a relaxing, private room where your massage will be customized to meet your needs, whether you’re seeking deep tissue work for muscle tension or gentle prenatal support.
For manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), the experience differs slightly from traditional massage. This technique uses light, rhythmic strokes and precise hand movements along your lymphatic pathways to stimulate the natural flow of lymph fluid. It’s gentle, non-invasive, and relaxing, often leaving clients feeling lighter, less swollen, and more energized. Many people use MLD to support immune function, detoxification, and post-surgical recovery.
Expect to feel deeply relaxed during your session, and drink plenty of water afterward to help your body flush out released toxins.
Is massage therapy covered by insurance?
While we do not bill insurance directly, we can provide superbills for potential reimbursement if your plan includes massage therapy coverage.

For general wellness, monthly sessions may be ideal. For specific concerns like pain or recovery, weekly or biweekly treatments may be more effective. Kimett will work with you to create a schedule that supports your goals.
