Massage therapy... an ancient healing art...
Massage therapy and bodywork has been used for thousands of years, in every culture, to improve and maintain quality of life. Touch is vital to our health, fundamental to our well-being. The therapeutic touch of massage has been shown to reduce pain, bolster the immune system, increase range of motion, relieve stress and improve circulation of blood, lymph and synovial fluid. Aligning and balancing through the release of hypertonic muscles and bound fascia, massage therapy facilitates a return to equilibrium.
Massage therapy, at the turn of the 19th century, was prescribed along the path to wellness. As modern medicine became more prevalent, bodywork was pushed aside. Today, western medicine is again seeing the timeless benefits of massage, a natural form of alternative, holistic healthcare.
Excellent for both chronic pain-relief and everyday aches and stresses, massage therapy fosters the potential for tremendous healing. Massage therapy reminds the body of it's true nature... balanced, fluid and free.
