Our massage therapist are so good you will wonder why you have
been putting this long over-due part of your training regiment on the
back burner. Our massage therapists use a variety of physical
methods of fixed or movable pressure, holding, or causing movement
to the body. Therapists primarily use their hands, but may also use
their forearms, elbows, or feet.
The basic goal of massage therapy is to help the body heal itself and
to increase health and well-being.
Touch is the core ingredient of massage therapy and also combines
science and art. Practitioners learn specific techniques for massage
and use their sense of touch to determine the right amount of pressure
to apply to each person and locate areas of tension and other
soft-tissue problems.
When muscles are overworked, waste products such as lactic acid can
accumulate in the muscle, causing soreness, stiffness, and even
muscle spasm.
Massage improves circulation, which increases blood flow, bringing
fresh oxygen to body tissues. This can assist the elimination of waste
products, speed healing after injury, and enhance recovery from
disease.
Therapeutic massage can be used to promote general well-being and
enhance self-esteem, while boosting the circulatory and immune
systems to benefit blood pressure, circulation, muscle tone, digestion,
and skin tone. It has been incorporated into many health systems, and
different massage techniques have been developed and integrated
into various complementary therapies.
