Massage facilitates a sense of physical and emotional well being. One of the world’s oldest therapies; it dates back to prehistoric times when evidence suggests that people rubbed their bodies with various herbs and oils to relieve pain. Today we use the term massage to refer to any form of soft tissue manipulation.

Massage aids in the healing of muscle strain by helping to relax overused muscles which in turn relieves pressure on the nerves. This brings relief of pain. It also increases blood flow to tissue which aids in the healing process.

By increasing circulation, massage increases the amount of oxygen to all areas of the body as well as speeding the elimination of toxins. In this way, it facilitates the healing of injuries and can reduce minor illnesses.

Massage aids in relaxation and stress reduction. Research has shown a high correlation between stress and various illnesses such as hypertension and digestive disorders. Massage can increase the function of the immune system by reducing stress and increasing circulation.
