 | Stress Reduction: Massage is a great way to
reduce the stress in your life. Not only are the physical effects very soothing, but
there is often reduced anxiety and increased feelings of well-being. Massage has
been proven to reduce levels of "stress hormones" that can be hazardous to your
health.
|
 | Pain Relief: Muscular aches and pains are often reduced
or eliminated through massage therapy. Also, when combined with other types of therapy
like Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), Myofascial Release, and Ortho-Bionomy, those with
chronic pain can get long-lasting relief. Pain relief from conditions such as
chronic low back pain, neck pain or whiplash, TMJ (jaw) pain, carpal tunnel syndrome,
fibromyalgia, lupus, myofascial pain syndrome, migraines and other headaches, sciatica,
and some forms of arthritis is common. If your pain is job related you may be
entitled to have your treatment paid for by Worker's Compensation insurance plans.

 | Improved Circulation: The circulation of the blood and
lymph are generally improved, helping you to eliminate toxins, feel great, and promote
healthy bodily function.

 | Improved Flexibility: Massage can enhance tissue
elasticity and flexibility and help increase the range of motion (mobility) of your
joints. Even people with some forms of arthritis and Parkinson's Disease can receive
this benefit - Ask your Doctor.

 | Improved Posture: Massage therapy can improve your
posture by releasing muscles and connective tissues that lead to poor posture.
Better posture helps to relieve stress on joints and muscles, reducing pain, reducing
chronic tension, and increasing energy.

after receiving massage therapy. The benefit often continues several days after
massage therapy.

be better in their sport should have massage therapy. In addition to the benefits
