Benefits of Massage

We all know that massage is great for sore and stiff muscles and profoundly relaxing. But did you know it also helps to detoxify the body, and lower blood pressure, tonify digestion and strengthen the immune system?  In short it helps the body to heal itself by balancing its various endocrine and parasympathetic responses, resulting in increased organ function and vitality.

Massage increases circulation which boosts the flow of energy-producing nutrients to your cells and speeds elimination of waste products that can make you feel achy or listless.  Increasing circulation is especially helpfull in repairing tissue damaged by stress or overuse.

The positive physiological, mechanical, and psychological effect from massage has also been found to increase joint range-of-motion and flexibility.  It can reduce many common ailments such as stress, muscle tightness, aches and pains- even anxiety and depression.


Other benefits include:

 * a deep state of relaxation
 * reduces mental stress and anxiety
 * increases flexibility and range of motion
 * skin and muscles are stretched and toned, preventing or delaying atrophy
   caused by injury or illness
 * reduces scar tissue and restrictions

The list of benefits goes on and on.  Ask me if massage can help you.
