How can we help you?

Reduces formation of scar tissue, pain, and swelling following
injury or surgery

Massage increases lymph flow (thereby removing
excess lymph and toxins and reducing swelling and pain), and can
help to bring necessary oxygen and nutrients via increased blood
circulation in order to increase the formation of functional
tissue and reduce the formation of scar tissue. Massage can also
help to realign the fibers of scar tissue, making the muscle more
functional and increasing range of motion at the joint.

Speeds healing from pulled muscles and sprained ligaments.

Inorder for any tissue in the body to heal, it must receive vital
nutrients and oxygen through blood circulation. Following an
injury, muscles often go into spasm, reducing blood flow to the
area. Massage not only releases these tight muscles, but also
increases local circulation, leading to faster healing time.
Massage can also help the fibers in muscles and ligaments to
realign appropriately in the healing process,

Improves immune system function.

Massage does a number of things
for immune function. It allows our nervous system to enter its
parasympathetic response (aka – relaxation response), which allows
our body to send energy and resources towards restoration and
healing. Studies have shown that massage increases the production
of immune cells such as natural killer cells and other immune
cells in HIV and cancer patients. In addition,
massage improves lymphatic flow, allowing the immune system to
work more efficiently.

the goal of
massage is not necessarily to simply “fix” something or to bring
about a particular result through a specific treatment, but
instead to facilitate the body’s ability to enter a state of
greater overall wellness and balance.

Benefits for the Mind

Reduces anxiety. Study after study has shown that massage helps to
reduce stress and anxiety. Studies consistently find that after
receiving massage clients both report less stress and anxiety and
show lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels. Lower levels of
stress hormones may be one of the most beneficial factors in
overall health and well-being.
