What is Massage Therapy?

 

Massage Therapy is the manipulation of soft tissue.  A massage improves circulation by bringing nutrients and oxygen to body tissues.  Massage increases flexibility, relieves muscles tension and pain.  It also helps clear lactic acid that can cause muscle pain and joint stiffness.

 

Who is it good for?

 

Massage is beneficial for all ages and body types.  Your massage therapist will review your health history to determine which type of massage would fit your specific needs for the best therapeutic outcome.

 

There are many types of massage therapy to benefit all ages and health demands.

 

Relaxation Massage

If relaxation is what you are looking for, then a gentle light pressure treatment can be very therapeutic.

While using minimal pressure, we will increase your circulation while promoting the removal of lactic acid in the tissues.

Remember to let your therapist know your pressure tolerance to ensure the most enjoyable treatment.

 

Infancy Massage

There are many benefits for infancy massage.  Most infants love to be held and massaged in a gentle manner, which can be very relaxing and beneficial.

Massage can reduce irritability, stimulate digestion and muscles, and increase circulation.

Infancy massage can help relieve pain from gas or colic, and promote a steady deep sleep pattern.

Massage for the infant is a wonderful way to strengthen the parent-child bond, and contribute to a healthy development.

 

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is a great way to help relieve some of the discomfort you may feel during your pregnancy.  It will relax tight muscles; increase circulation and your energy level.

 

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a technique focusing on the deeper layers of muscles.

This massage helps to reduce chronic muscle tension, break down scar tissue, release toxins, and get blood and oxygen circulating properly.

 

Sports Injury Massage

Regular treatments can help reduce the chance of injury by relieving stress in the muscles before they become restricted, and can improve range of motion flexibility.

Once injured, massage can speed healing and reduce muscle spasms, as well as pain in both injured muscle and the compensatory muscles.
