Benefits of Massage

Massage offers a drug free, non-invasive soothing approach based on the body's natural ability to heal itself. Here are some of the benefits to receiving regular massage treatments. 

  •  Relieves symptoms of stress and anxiety
  •  Increases circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into vital organs and tissues
  •  Stimulates the lymphatic flow using the body's natural defense system against toxic invaders
  •  Reduces spasm and cramping
  •  Increases range of motion or joint flexibility 
  •  Stimulates endorphin release - which is the body's natural painkiller - it       helps with chronic illness, injury and recovery from surgery to relieve and  control pain.
  •  Lowers blood pressure
  •  Helps in recovery from strains and sprains
  •  Relaxes and softens overused and injured muscles

 The effects of a massage can vary depending on the techniques used. Most people will feel very relaxed and experience relief from aches and pains developed from stress, tension, or a repetitive activity.
