Massage Therapy

Massage has been used for centuries as a form of touch and healing. Throughout history, many different forms of massage and bodywork have been introduced for the management of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction as well as to promote relaxation and wellbeing.

The skin is the body's largest sensory organ and is the oldest and most sensitive of our senses. Through skilled touch the professional massage therapist gains a picture of the body as a whole by being able to distinguish correct posture and skeletal alignment, one muscle from another, relaxed tissue from tense tissue, poor circulation from good circulation and then be able to put into practice the relevant bodywork unique to that particular client.

Everyone can benefit from massage. It promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety, relieves fatigue, promotes good sleep patterns and increases mental alertness. Physical effects of massage include increased circulation, lowering of heart rate and blood pressure, improved immune function, stimulates release of natural health promoting body chemicals and increased joint flexibility.  The therapeutic touch of massage alone can promote a feeling of completeness, integrated wellness and healing.
