Four Reasons to Try CBD Oil Massage Therapy in San Diego
Here at Movement Rx we talk a ton about inflammation. Whether it’s from foods, stress, injury, or exercise, managing inflammation is crucial to both short term pain and long term health. We typically focus on managing inflammation through downregulatory tissue and breath work as well as techniques to reduce short-term pain and cortisol levels. We’ve just added a new method called CBD oil Massage.

You Won’t Get High
Whoa!!!??? What would Nancy Reagan say?
Actually, very little. There’s a growing awareness and body of evidence of the benefits of specially extracted cannabidiol (CBD) oils.
CBD is not THC, the psychotropic compound that provides weed smokers their high. In fact, there are at least 113 cannabinoids in the common marijuana plant, and THC is the only one that is psychotropic. For you chemistry geeks out there, here’s a useful overview of the differences.
CBD has become popular because it is “both nonintoxicating and displays a broad range of medicinal applications, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-anxiety, and analgesic (pain relief) properties,” according to Dr. Blake Pearson, in a recent POPSUGAR interview.
And with modern extraction techniques, pure CBD oils are now legally available in all 50 states.

4 Reasons Why You Should Try CBD Oil Massage Therapy
Here’s the short list:
- Reduce Inflammation. Used topically during a therapeutic massage, CBD penetrates the skin to get to painful and inflamed tissues and joints. The human body already produces its own cannabinoid compounds, and the presence of plant-derived CBD is thought to encourage more of the endogenous cannabinoids to bind to nerve receptors, accelerating the relief of pain.
- Increased Sensory Stimulation. While your muscles and joints react immediately to massage therapy, CBD oils are thought to stimulate your skin – the largest organ in your body – to feel less irritated. The oils assist with the separation of older or dead skin cells from your pores, improving skin tone.
- Alleviate Stress and Anxiety. In combination with the downregulatory impact of massage therapy techniques, CBDs can optimize the benefits of massage therapy by further reducing anxiety through CBD’s impact on inflammation.
- Eliminate Chronic Pain: Those who suffer from chronic pain often turn to CBD oils to help them to cope with the pains they feel on a daily basis. Why? Reducing inflammation leads to increased blood flow, more efficient neural pathways and a general sense of feeling soothed.
