Massage Therapy 

 It is important to create balance in your life by nurturing your whole person. Taking care of our physical bodies is an important element in caring for our whole selves.

What if that hour of massage did more for you than just take the pressures of the day away? What if that gentle, Swedish massage helped you combat disease? What if bodywork helped you recover from a strained hamstring in half the time? What if your sleep, digestion and mood all improved with massage and bodywork? What if these weren't just "what ifs"?


Massage as a healing tool has been around for thousands of years in many cultures. 


There now is scientific proof of the benefits of massage - benefits ranging from treating chronic diseases and injuries to alleviating the growing tensions of our modern lifestyles. Having a massage does more than just relax your body and mind - there are specific physiological and psychological changes which occur, even more so when massage is utilized as a preventative, frequent therapy and not simply mere luxury.

Massage is a perfect elixir for good health, but it can also provide an integration of body and mind. By producing a meditative state or heightened awareness of living in the present moment, massage can provide emotional and spiritual balance, bringing with it true relaxation and peace.

The benefits to receiving regular massage are Increased circulation, it relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles, reduces post-surgery adhesions and swelling and can be used to reduce and realign scar tissue after healing has occurred, improves range-of-motion and decreases discomfort for patients with low back pain, relieves pain for migraine sufferers and decreases the need for medication.

Recent studies from the Touch Research Institute (TRI) in Miami, Fla., indicates that pregnancy massage provides more than just symptom relief for the mother. A group of pregnant women were given either massage or relaxation therapy in the study. In addition to experiencing a reduction in symptoms of anxiety, stress, sleep problems and back pain, the massage group had fewer complications in their delivery. Their newborns also had fewer postnatal complications. Another TRI study reported massage during labor resulted in shorter labor times for the mothers, shorter hospital stays and less postpartum depression.

The benefits of pregnancy massage assist with shorter labor for expectant mothers, and reduces post-partum depression and recovery.  Postpartum massage can relieve the stress and tension of your new responsibilities and provide nurturing and relaxation to help you in adjusting to motherhood.
