MASSAGE THERAPY
Reduce stress and create a sense of relaxation and well being.
Massage therapy is one of the most ancient forms of healing, and has been practiced for thousands of years in all regions of the world. Today massage therapy spans a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, working to improve an individual’s health and well being through hands on manipulation of muscles and other soft tissues of the body. It has been proven beneficial for reducing stress, enhancing blood circulation, decreasing pain, promoting sleep, reducing swelling, and increasing oxygen capacity of the blood. New uses for massage therapy continue to be discovered as scientific research on this valuable healing modality continues.
Massage Therapy Benefits
While there seems to be universal agreement that massage “feels good”, it also offers many specific benefits. The therapeutic use of massage affects all systems of the body, most particularly circulatory, muscular, fascial and nervous systems. One of the most significant benefits of massage therapy is improving blood circulation which speeds healing and enhances recovery. It has also been shown beneficial for reducing stress and promoting relaxation, decreasing pain and inflammation, increasing mobility, joint flexibility and range of motion, and increasing the oxygen capacity of the blood, which enhances the immune system. It also improves the health of our muscles, connective tissue and skin.
