Benefits of Massage

The National Institute of Health estimates that upwards of 90% of disease is stress-related.
Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

• decreased anxiety,
  
• enhanced sleep quality,
  
• greater energy,
  
• improved concentration,
  
• increased circulation,
  
• reduced fatigue.
  

Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:

• alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion,
  
• enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow (the body's natural defense system),
  
• pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation,
  
• release endorphins (amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller),
  
• ease depression and anxiety,
  
• relieve migraine pain,
  
• exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles,
  
• improve the condition of the body's largest organ - the skin,
  
• increase joint flexibility,
  
• promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks,
  
• reduce post-surgery adhesions and swelling,
  
• reduce spasms and cramping,
  
• relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
