"Everything you do can be done better from a place of relaxation"
~Stephen C. Paul

Massage is beginning to step away from the spas and into the medical field.  Take a look at some of the benefits you may not have known.

Benefits of Massage

• Increased circulation allowing more oxygen and nutrients to flow to muscles and vital organs
• Stimulates flow of lymph, the body's natural defense system
• Relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles
• Reduces spasms and cramping
• Increases joint flexibility
• Reduces recovery time for active individuals by increasing circulation to increase healing and removing unwanted byproducts.
  
• Releases endorphins - the body's natural painkiller - and is being used in chronic illness, injury and recovery from surgery to control and relieve pain
• Reduces post-surgery adhesions and edema and can be used to reduce and realign scar tissue after healing has occurred
• Relieves pain for migraine sufferers and decreases the need for medication
• Assists with shorter labor for expectant mothers, as well as less need for medication, less depression and anxiety, and shorter hospital stays
