Massage Therapy

Practiced for thousands of years, massage therapy provides physical and emotional benefits. 

Massage therapy is the manipulation of the body's soft tissues by applying fixed or moveable pressure to the muscle or tissue. Massage is known to impact the circulatory and lymphatic systems by reducing muscular tension, thus promoting tissue healing. The nervous system is also known to be affected by either stimulation or sedation. Deep or light pressure can be used to achieve the desired outcome, whether it be therapeutic or relaxation. 

Massage can be used for relaxation, stress control, or symptom relief. It is important to discuss your health with your therapist so that your massage can be customized for you.

• Reduction of muscle tension or pain

• Increased flexibility and greater range of motion

• Stress relief & relaxation

• Headache relief
