Benefits of Massage

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related.  And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress and can also specifically address a number of other health issues.

Therapeutic massage can:

   * Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
   * Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
   * Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
   * Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
   * Increase joint flexibility.
   * Lessen depression and anxiety.
   * Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
   * Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
   * Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
   * Reduce spasms and cramping.
   * Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
   * Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
   * Relieve migraine pain.
