Massage provides relief to people of all ages and from all walks of life from the overstressed executive, children and the elderly to the finely tuned athlete.
Massage addresses a broad spectrum of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension. Massage has been proven beneficial in assisting fatigue, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, back pain, immunity suppression, spinal cord injury, post-operative surgery, infertility, smoking cessation, and depression, to name just a few.
Massage therapy offers a non-invasive, drug free and humanistic approach which enhances the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Massage has many physiological and psychological benefits, such as
- Relaxing and softening injured and overused muscles.
- Stimulating the lymph system, the body's natural defense, against toxic invaders.
- Increasing circulation thus bringing more oxygen and nutrients to tissues and vital organs and increasing the body's ability to heal.
- Reducing spasms and cramping.
- Increasing joint flexibility.
- Reducing recovery time for strenuous workouts and eliminating subsequent pains of the athlete at any level.
- Releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkiller.
- Improving range of motion and decreasing discomfort for people recovering from injury or back pain.
- Relieving pain for migraine or headache sufferers and decreasing the need for medication.
- Providing exercise and stretching for atrophied muscles and reducing shortening of the muscles for those with restricted range of motion.
