About Massage
Massage changes how the body functions. It softens connective tissue which decreases blood pressure while it increases circulation.
Massage moves lymph that helps cleans toxins and extra fluid out of muscles and tissue, which in turn, relieves and supports the healing of tight, stiff, sore muscles, and joints.
Massage is helpful in reducing stress by decreasing anxiety, through relaxing the body and quieting of the mind. It helps increase concentration, reduces fatigue and helps with energy levels. Massage can bring about a sense of well-being and security.
With these changes that massage brings about, there is an increased awareness of jaw-clenching or stooped shoulders, and the need to breath deeply. It also helps with getting a good night's sleep. Balance is better because the body is not fighting stiff joints or fatigued muscles.
Massage can bring a higher quality of life for us who live with health challenges. It provides an additional modality to treat chronic diseases, injury, and pain.
The more conscious we are about taking good care of ourselves, the better our physical and mental state will be. Caring, knowledgeable, and nurturing touch, supports health and improves the quality of life.
