Health Maintenance Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a powerful ally enhancing our overall health.

People feel improvement in their bodies and in their lives by incorporating massage as part of their self care regime.

Taking time to receive bodywork calms the nervous system and addresses tension created by work, life and everyday activities that cause stress in the body.

Cumulative Benefits of Massage

Budgeting time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is an investment in your health. The benefits of massage are shown to be cumulative through repeated visits. Consider receiving massage on a regular basis and avoid seeking massage only when you're in acute pain.

Research shows that massage therapy:

  • Helps athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts

  • Alleviates low-back pain and improves range of motion

  • Assists with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers

  • Eases medication dependence

  • Enhances immunity by stimulating lymph flow

  • Exercise and stretches weak, tight, or atrophied muscles

  • Pumps oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation

Incorporating massage can be a great asset in your health maintenance routine. It can also assist in improving:

Stress

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Eliminating anxiety and stress altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, but massage can, without a doubt, help support the body’s stress responses.

Pain

Every day, people deal with pain in one form or another. From a simple tension headache to chronic debilitating pain, massage therapy has been shown to give people relief by alleviating or entirely eliminating pain.

Sports

Swimmer Michael Phelps, who won eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, noted that his training regimen integrated daily massage. While most of us lean toward recreational sports and exercise rather than world-class competition, massage still plays an important role in maintaining health and keeping bodies prepared to play.

Pregnancy

As a woman changes during the many stages of pregnancy, normal life routines become irregular including sleep patterns, exercise, and eating habits. Perinatal massage therapy helps to calm the nervous system, support the body through the variety of physical changes, and helps mothers thrive through this life-changing event.
