What is Massage Therapy?

Find Relief

Massage therapy stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal. It is a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical, reinforcement of the body’s own regenerative capacity. There are a variety of modalities, or techniques, each with a certain emphasis. What are the benefits? Massage supports recovery from injury or illness, can relieve pain and discomfort, and dissipate stress. Massage also acts as a preventative treatment by supporting good body function.

As a result of improved circulation in both blood and lymphatic systems, many recipients of massage therapy report greater range of motion, relief from pain, improved sleep, and sense of overall wellness.

Massage can bring relief to many conditions, including the following:

• Headaches, migraines
• Sciatica
• Difficulty concentrating
• Sinus congestion
• TMJ syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia
• Blood pressure imbalance
• Stiff neck or strain
• Vertebral miss-alignment, spine or back pain
• Shoulder/other joint pain/restricted range of motion
• Muscle soreness
• Stress and tension-related problems
