Experts estimate that upwards of eight percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which may translates into:
- Decreased Anxiety
- Enhanced Sleep Quality
- Increases Energy
- Improved Concentration
- Increased Circulation
- Reduced Fatigue
Massage may also help specifically address a number of health issues including:
- Alleviate low-back pain
- Improve range of motion.
- Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
- Ease medication dependence.
- Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow (the body's natural defense system).
- Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
- Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
- Improve the condition of the body's largest organ; the skin.
- Increase joint flexibility.
- Lessen depression and anxiety.
- Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
- Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
- Reduce post-surgery adhesions and swelling.
- Reduce spasms and cramping.
- Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
- Release endorphins (amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller).
- Relieve migraine pain.
