Massage Therapy
Massage therapy has been around for thousands of years in Eastern cultures and is growing in popularity in the United States. Massage therapy seeks to develop an environment within the body where its natural healing mechanisms can do their work, creating optimal balance, energy flow, and body mechanics for efficient and pain-free movement and function.
Massage therapy is soft-tissue manipulation. By moving and stimulating soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin and fascia (connective tissue found throughout the body), the body is cued to release stored toxins. Tight muscles are encouraged to loosen, generating enough slack for overstretched muscles to return to their normal length.
Benefits of massage therapy include:
- Helps relieve stress and fatigue
- Reduced muscle tension, stiffness and pain
- Increases range of motion and joint flexibility
- Improves posture, muscle tone and muscle balance
- Increases circulation of blood and lymph (which boosts immune system)
- Reduces blood pressure
- Promotes faster recovery from injury and increases injury prevention
- Increases sense of well-being and enhances the mind-body connection
