Massage Therapy
Massage is a type of therapy which uses a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.
How does it work?
A Massage increases oxygen flow in the blood, releases toxins from the muscles and shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid and metabolic wastes. Massages increase circulation and stretch ligaments and tendons, keeping them supple and pliable. All this is accomplished by using several different techniques of hand massage.
What can a Massage treat?
Massage can provide relief from muscular aches, pains, sprains, poor circulation, rheumatic and arthritic conditions and back pain. Massage also encourages the body to function better and relieves stress through lymphatic drainage, circulation, breaking down calcification between nerve pathways and muscle relaxation.
