Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than excessive stress. Massage is an effective and relatively inexpensive tool for managing stress, which translates into:
- Decreased anxiety.
- releases endorphins-natural painkiller and feel good hormone
- Enhanced sleep quality.
- Greater energy.
- Improved concentration.
- Increased circulation.
- Reduced fatigue.
Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues such as:
- Alleviate muscle and joint pain
- Improve range of motion / flexibility
- Relieve migraine and tension headaches
- Ease medication dependence
- Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—a part of the body's natural defense system
- Stretch short, tight, or knotted (adhesions) muscles
- Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous physical activity
- Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin
- Lessen depression and anxiety
- Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks
- Improves circulation
- Reduce post-surgery swelling and recovery time.
- Reduce spasms and cramping.
- Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles
