Benefits of Therapeutic Massage

Massage is defined as the systematic therapeutic manipulation of the body’s soft tissue. It’s a holistic therapy that produces mechanical, physiological and psychological effects through the application of rhythmical pressure and movement to help stimulate the circulatory, integumentary, immune, muscular, and nervous systems.

Receiving therapeutic massage regularly:

- Increases circulation allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs.

- Strengthens immune functions by stimulating the lymphatic system - the body’s natural defense against toxic invaders.

- Relieves tension, spasms, and cramping of overused muscles.

- Shortens the recovery time needed from strenuous workouts, injury, and post-operative rehabilitation.

- Supports healing of strained muscles and sprained ligaments by reducing pain and swelling and softening scar tissue.

- Improves posture by gently stretching muscles and fascia allowing for better flexibility and joint range of motion.

- Lowers blood pressure and promotes deeper, easier breathing.

- Enhances athletic performance.

- Reduces stress and aids relaxation encouraging a sense of well-being.

- Creates awareness of the mind-body connection and enhances capacity for calm thinking and creativity.
