Therapeutic Massage
Massage Therapy treats the whole person. Through the manipulation of soft tissues (i.e. muscles, ligaments, tendons) the overall health of a person is improved.
The touch used in Massage Therapy is purposeful and systematic. Stretching, pressing, kneading and stroking result in increased flexibility in stiff muscles and joints. Massage Therapy improves blood flow and increases lymphatic drainage, which, in turn, facilitates the removal of metabolic by-products. This positive effect on the circulatory system also improves the functioning of the immune system.
Massage Therapy stimulates the release of endorphins into the brain, calming the nervous system and providing an overall sense of well-being.
A person of any age can benefit from Massage Therapy: infants suffering from the pain of colic, elderly folk with compromised circulation and expectant mothers experiencing stiffness and pain from the postural adjustments of pregnancy.
