The Benefits of Massage

Beneficial for optimum health and vitality, aiding injuries, ailments and mobility.

There's no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. In response to massage, specific physiological and chemical changes cascade throughout the body, with profound effects.

Swedish Remedial Massage

Swedish massage will help to release muscular tension, boost circulation, aid in the alleviation of stress and help with the healing process after injuries. It helps to ease pain in a specific area and it also encourages the removal of waste products from the body by increasing both the circulation of blood and lymph fluids.

It is a relaxing treatment which combines different techniques, from flowing gentle movements, to deeper massage addressing more problematic or tense areas. It enhances well-being on a number of levels from relaxation, to stimulating blood and lymph flow, as well as helping numerous conditions.

When firmer pressure is applied during a treatment the circulatory system is stimulated to a higher level, allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach the tissues. This will improve skin tone and will stimulate the lymphatic system which carries away waste products, thereby helping to relieve muscular tension, stiffness and pain.

It promotes a sense of relaxation, renewed energy and wellbeing.

 Therapeutic Point Massage

Traditional Chinese medical theory describes special  acupressure points, that lie along meridians, or channels, in your body. These are the same energy meridians and acupoints as those targeted with acupuncture. Through these invisible channels flows vital energy or a life force called qi (ch'i). It is also believed that these 12 major meridians connect specific organs or networks of organs, organizing a system of communication throughout your body. The meridians begin at your fingertips, connect to your brain, and then connect to an organ associated with a certain meridian. When one of these meridians is blocked or out of balance, illness can occur. Acupressure and acupuncture are among the types of TCM that are used to help restore balance
