MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage therapy including Deep Tissue, Relaxation and Pregnancy massage. The skilled use of therapeutic manipulation of soft tissue is applied to encourage the release of muscular congestion and stimulate the flow of oxygen in the blood to encourage the release of toxins from the body.

Various techniques are incorporated to address individual health needs, such as reducing muscle tension, breaking up adhesions, pain and stress relief, improving circulation, restoring movement, reducing scar tissue and promoting relaxation. Massage has the ability to restore the body’s own healing potential by soothing the nervous system, reducing tension enhancing nutrient delivery to the affected site and removing waste products (i.e. calcification, scar tissue, damaged cells) via the blood and lymphatic systems.
