Benefits of Massage

 

 

Massage therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, the muscles, the ligaments and tendons to encourage the healing of specific injuries.  Massage produces the general beneficial effects of relaxing muscular tension, stimulating blood circulation and improving the tone and strength of the skin and muscles.

 

Massage also relieves your stress….

 

Mental tension and frustrations or stress cause the release of hormones that create vasoconstrictions resulting in reduced circulation.  This means the heart works harder, processes are slowed and continued stress can lead to migraines, peptic ulcers, hypertension or depression.  Massage animates the tactile sense, bringing the body to a here and now state and far away from the causes of stress.  The loosening of muscle tension can lead to the freeing up of your repressed emotions and thus aids in the reduction of stress.
