 Massage Therapy is effective for maintaining a healthy body or recovering from illness or injury. Although techniques are applied to the surface of the skin, the work goes much deeper, into our various bodily systems.
Massage helps relieve muscle tension, relaxes spasm and can increase joint flexibility if applied regularly over time. When injured, muscle tissue may develop adhesions. My skilled techniques can help reduce or eliminate these adhesions during the healing process.
Our bones also benefit from massage. Since muscles are attached to bones, massage and directly affect postural imbalances. The rounded shoulders and hunched spines many people develop from long hours at a desk can be improved with a combination of bodywork and stretching exercises.
The pressure used in massage therapy either light or deep, improves our circulation of lymph and blood. This increases the supply of oxygen and nutrients to all the tissue of our bodies and aids in the elimination of waste products.
The most popular benefit of massage therapy is decreasing the negative effects of stress. Massage helps sedate our over-stimulated nervous system and allows us to return to our center, to breathe easier, to move (and even rest) more comfortably.
