Massage Therapy has many benefits, among which are lowered blood pressure, lowered stress levels, heightened immune system, better blood circulation, reduction of edema (swelling), a greater sense of well-being and pain reduction from muscle tightness or spasms.

"A REGULAR MASSAGE IS AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR HEALTH"

Massage is a caring safe touch which causes the following involuntary relaxation responses:

  • Slows down heart and breathing rate
  • Lowers blood pressure
  • Facilitates the release of chemicals such as endorphins (the body's own natural feel good hormones)
  • Stimulates the blood circulation and lymphatic drainage
  • Relaxes soft tissue, tendons and ligaments which releases nerves and deeper connective tissue.
