Massage Therapy addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension, which experts believe accounts for 80-90% of disease. Massage has proven beneficial in treating fatigue and chronic pain, arthritis, high blood pressure, TMJ dysfunction, low back and neck pain, sinusitis, immunity suppression, spinal cord injury, post-operative surgery, headaches/migraines and depression, just to name a few. Massage has many physiological effects such as:

-Increased circulation to all areas of the body. This means that more oxygen goes to the tissues, enabling them to function more efficiently.

-Removal of toxins and waste products that build up in the tissues.

-Reduction of recovery time from certain injuries.

-Softening of the connective tissues that permeates the body, resulting in more relaxed muscles and more efficient organ and nerve function.

-Breaking of the pain-tension cycle, which helps prevent muscle strains and aches.

-Increased flexibility and joint mobility.

-Better muscular balance throughout the body, resulting in effective support for other modalities, such as chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation.
