Benefits of Massage

Massage and bodywork provides benefits for people of all ages and all walks of life. We offer a drug-free, non-invasive approach based on the body's natural ability to heal itself.

The many benefits of massage are:
Relaxing and softening injured and overused muscles.
Reducing muscle spasms and cramping.
Increasing joint flexibility.
Reducing recovery time for strenuous workouts and eliminating subsequent pains of the athlete at any level.
Increasing circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs.
Stimulating the lymph system, the body's natural defense, against toxic invaders.
Releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkiller.
Reducing post-surgery adhesions and edema and reducing and realigning scar tissue after healing has occurred.
Improving range of motion and decreasing discomfort for patients with low back pain.
Relieving pain for migraine sufferers and decreasing the need for medication.
Providing exercise and stretching for atrophied muscles and reducing shortening of the muscles for those with restricted range of motion.
Lessen the need for medication, minimizing depression and anxiety, and shortening hospital stays.
Contributing to shortening your labor and making delivery of your baby less stressful.
