Therapeutic Massage is a gentle therapy that can relieve pain, reduce stress and promote health.

Getting a massage provides relaxation, relieves tension associated with the daily stresses of busy lifestyles and most importantly, it helps one maintain overall good health and balance, both physically and mentally. Massage acts directly on your muscles and stimulates the nervous system to instruct muscles to relax even more. Massage relieves most muscle tightness.

A tense or painful muscle is one which is often chronically contracted. In an acute situation such as recent injury, the muscle can be in actual spasm. In either case the flow of blood to the muscle, and the nutrient and oxygen supply to the cells of the muscle and related nerves, are severely decreased. Following that, the contracted muscle will build up lactic acid, perpetuating fatigue. Massage helps to remove the lactic acid and other metabolic waste from the cells and reverse this process of the vicious cycle of pain-spasm-pain.

*Therapeutic massage improves circulation of the blood and lowers blood pressure. *Massage also acts as a detoxification system by propelling toxic waste products out of the cells through the lymphatic system. *Massage improves muscle tone and prevents muscular atrophy resulting from inactivity or illness.
