Massage makes a positive
difference for our clients, helping them lead lives of health and wellness.
Yes, it really works! The many benefits of therapeutic massage include:
Relaxing tight, sore muscles
Think about how good you feel after you stretch. Massage loosens tense
muscles by lengthening your muscle fibers and encouraging blood flow to
constricted areas. "I feel better than I have in as long as I can remember. I didn't realize how much pain I was in until it went away!" one of our clients shared. "If
muscles could talk, mine would be saying, 'Thank You, THANK You, THANK YOU!'"

Decreasing
chronic pain
In addition to easing muscular tension that strains your joints, massage
stimulates the production of the body's pain-fighting "feel-good"
hormones. After a few sessions, one of our therapists asked her client,
who tried massage because of nagging back pain, "Has your back been
causing you any problems?" Her reply: "No! And that's why I
keep coming back!" And come back, she does--every two weeks for more
than 10 years and counting!

Relieving
stress and tension
Life is nuts! So take care of yourself by focusing time on you and your
health. This will help you be your best--and help you be there for others!
"I look forward to my massage as a time of blissful relaxation where
I can just be by myself and enjoy," says one client, who treasures
his monthly massages as a way to renew and rejuvenate.

Speeding recovery time from illness and
injury
Massage releases excessive muscular tension and trigger points that
cause pain and put pressure on joints. Several weeks after a client began
to rollerblade for fitness, he began to experience severe knee pain. His
concern was that he had injured a tendon or ligament in his knee that
would require surgical intervention. After his first massage session focusing
on his knee pain, he was amazed that his pain was virtually gone. The
massage relieved tension in his quadriceps muscle that produced the knee
pain. He continued with regular massage sessions for a few months, gradually
spacing the sessions further apart until his body adapted to the demands
of a new exercise.

But that's not all! Massage therapy also:
• Calms the nervous system, leading to better-quality sleep and easing
depression and anxiety
• Improves circulation, bringing nutrients to your muscle tissues
and flushing out toxins
• Enhances immune-system function by encouraging lymph flow
• Helps prevent injury through improved muscle tone, flexibility
and range of motion
