Therapeutic Massage
Massage therapy addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension, which experts believe, accounts for 80%-90% of disease.
Massage has been proven beneficial in treating cancer-related fatigue, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, low back pain, immunity suppression, spinal cord injury, autism, post-operative surgery, age-related disorders, infertility, eating disorders, smoking cessation, and depression, to name just a few.
Massage has many benefits!
-
Increased circulation to all areas of the body. This means that more oxygen goes to the tissue, enabling them to function more efficiently.
-
Removal of toxins and waste products that build up in the tissues.
-
Reduction in recovery time from certain injuries.
-
Softening of the connective tissue that permeates the body resulting in more relaxed muscles and more efficient organ function.
-
Breaking of the pain-tension cycle, which helps prevent muscle strains and aches.
-
Increased flexibility and joint mobility.
-
Better muscular balance throughout the body resulting in effective support for other healing modalities such as chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation.
