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 anxiety.
• Reduced fatigue.
• Enhanced sleep quality.
• Greater energy.
• Improved concentration.
• Increased circulation, both blood and lymph.
• Improves the function of joints and muscles.
• Creates an enhanced feeling of well-being.

Massage is the manipulation of muscles, connective tisse, blood, and lymph.  As a result, massage can specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:

• Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
• Promotes deeper and easier breathing.
• Improves posture.
• Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
• Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
• Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
• Ease medication dependence.
• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
• Increase joint flexibility.
• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
• Reduce spasms and cramping.
• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
• Lessen depression and anxiety.
• Increases capacity for clear thinking, better coping abilities, and calm mind.
• Relaxes TMJ discomfort.
• Relieve migraine and headache pain.
• Alleviate neck stiffness and improve range of motion.
