Massage provides relief to people of all ages and from all walks of life. Whether you are a working professional, an athlete, student, home-gardener or a busy mom, massage will help relieve your stress, fatigue, muscular aches and pains, and promote a feeling of well-being and relaxation.
Therapeutic massage addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension. Massage offers a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic approach based on the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Massage has many physiological effects, such as:
• Relieves stress and tension, aids relaxation and improves sleep patterns.
• Increases circulation of blood, oxygen and nutrients to tissues and vital organs.
• Alleviates pain and tension in muscles and soft-tissue of the body due to overuse, repetitive strain or injury.
• Enhances muscle tone helping athletes perform at peak levels and recover more quickly from strenuous workouts and sports-related injuries.
• Increases mobility and provides greater joint flexibility and range of motion. • Relieves musculoskeletal problems and improves posture.
• Releases endorphins, the body’s natural pain-killer, to aid in treatment of chronic illness, injury, recovery from surgery, and muscular tension.
• Relieves headache and migraine pain, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, and helps conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.
• Reduces post-surgery adhesions, edema, and scar-tissue after healing has occurred.
• Improves and strengthens immune system and aids in removal of toxins, such as lactic acid, from the body.
• Enhances energy, mental alertness, productivity and overall well-being.
