 Why Massage Therapy

 Within our daily Lifestyles, whether work or leisure, we use and abuse our bodies on a daily basis, forcing our bodies into positions that are called upon us and it's the muscles and joints that end up complaining.  How we use our bodies has a direct impact on our posture, and our nervous, circulatory, digestion and other systems.  
                                                                                                                                                                
 Any area in our body that is hurt we instinctively stop using to avoid the pain, by guarding we tighten up other areas to avoid causing any more pain to ourselves.  It becomes a vicious cycle, affecting our mood, sleep, everyday life.
 

Massage Therapy works the body's soft tissues to reduce tension and alleviate restrictions and increase fluid circulation within the body, by lengthening and relaxing contracted muscle fibers with pressure and movement bringing fresh oxygenated blood into the muscles flushing them of chemical waste products produced during muscle use (lactic acid).  The new fresh blood & lymph flow help to eleviate soreness and is good for the skin as well.  A Massage Therapist is able to teach a client to experience the benefits of becoming more relaxed, balanced and pain-free.

All Massage Techniques are Therapeutic to those who want self-healing and want to become familiar with what their bodies are telling them.
