Benefits of Massage

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

• Decreased depression and anxiety
• Enhanced sleep quality
• Greater energy
• Improved circulation
• Reduced fatigue
• Better concentration

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

• Alleviate back pain
• Improve range of motion
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system
• Stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles
• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts
• Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin
• Increase joint flexibility
• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks
• Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling
• Reduce spasms and cramping
• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles
• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller
• Relieve migraine pain
