Massage

In an age of technical and at times, impersonal medicine, massage offers a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic approach based on the body's natural ability to heal itself.  So what exactly are the benefits to receiving regular massage and/or bodywork treatments?
  • Increases circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs.
  • Stimulates the flow of lymph, the body's natural defense system, against toxic invaders.  For example, in breast cancer patients, massage has been shown to increase the cells that fight cancer.
  • Increased circulation of blood and lymph systems improves the condition of the body's largest organ - the skin.
  • Relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles.
  • Reduces spasms and cramping.
  • Increases joint flexability.
  • Reduces recovery time, helps prepare for strenuous workouts and eliminates subsequent pains of teh athlete at any level.
  • Releases endorphins, the body's natural pain killer, and is being used in chronic illness, injury, and recover from surgery to control and relieve pain.
  • Reduces post-surgery adhesions and edema and can be used to reduce and realigh scar tissue after healing has occurred.
  • Improves range-of-motion and decreases discomfort for patients with low back pain.
  • Relieves pain for migraine sufferers and decreases the need for medication.
  • Provides exercise and stretching for atrophied muscles and reduces shortening of the muscles for those with restricted range of motion.
  • Assists with shorter labor for expectant mothers, as well as less need for medication, less depression and anxiety, and shorter hospital stays.
