Massage provides relief to people of all ages and from all walks of life. One need only experience a good massage to know it is beneficial to body and soul. Although a single massage can be enjoyable the effects are cumulative and regular massage treatments will bring about the most benefits.Massage therapy has proven beneficial for many chronic conditions including low back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression, infertility, smoking cessation, and depression.Experts believe stress-related tension accounts for 80% - 90% of disease. Massage therapy specifically addresses and relieves stress-related tension. Bodywork offers a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic approach based on the body’s natural ability to heal itself.Massage gives one a feeling of comfort and relaxation like a mini-vacation from the pressures of life. Studies have shown that massage increases mental alertness and accuracy and reduces stress hormones such as coritsol and noradrenaline. These effects last longer as the cumulative benefits of more massage at regular intervals are experienced. Weekly massage will make you look and feel years younger.
At it’s best, regular massage has the potential to restore the individual physically, mentally, and spiritually.
