Medical Massage

What massage therapy can do for you, the client!
Massage
doesn't just feel good, it releases
tension and pain in muscles, improves circulation and
lymph flow, lowers blood
pressure, increases flexibility
in joints, reduces mental and physical fatigue, and
assist your immune system.
Few
things are as distressing as pain. Pain saps
your energy and takes an emotional toll. Pain can become
a vicious cycle with a life of
its own.
Massage
is one of the most overlooked, yet accessible and supportive measures
you can seek for relieving
pain, stress, muscle
tension and aches.

Renewing
your energy reserves
When you are overtaxed and feel like
you are running on empty, massage can help you recharge
and restore the energy you need to
meet your daily challenges.
Massage and stress/tension
Stress
relief is accomplished by
relaxing the body and
the mind. Massage is one of the best known
antidotes for stress. Reducing
stress gives you more
energy, improves your outlook on life, and in the
process reduces your likelihood
of injury and illness.
During
massage toxins are flushed from the body. Increased circulation
supplies more oxygen to the
muscles, therefore the muscles
tend to relax. This helps to relieve pain and tension. Massage
stimulates the release of endorphines
- the body's natural pain killers. Regular massage will help
your body recharge and stay healthy.

Painful
or tight muscles
Massage
can relieve painful muscle
tension that can sap
your energy, from muscle cramps to a clenched
jaw.
Massage
acts directly on your muscles with stretching
and kneading motions. It also stimulates the
nervous system to instruct
muscles to relax.
Massage
flushes muscles of built-up waste products
that can make you sore after exercise.

Learning
how to relax
Massage
for relaxation is almost
always helpful. Relaxation is a skill that can be learned. By making
massage a regular part of your life
you can experience the ongoing, cumulative effects of reduced
muscle tension, increased vitality,
improved ability to achieve a calm state of mind, and a boosted
immune system.
