Hello, my name is Francis Dallaire and I have been practicing massage therapy since 2008.  I graduated from New York College of Health Professions, in Syosset, NY with an Associates in Occupational Studies.  I LOVED learning about the body.  The way nerves communicate with muscles.  How the muscles translate the electrical impulses into mechanical action; it was thrilling!  The further we studied the hormonal system, I really began to connect the dots between all of our bodily systems.  My family has always been afflicted with heart disease and chronic pain.  I was raised to believe this was just how it is.  You go to the doctor, pain medications, or wait for surgery to be the only option.  Studying the body empowered me to realize this was not true!  Massage therapy relieves spasms which cause pain.  Tight muscles pull bones out of alignment.  Sedentary(Desk Jobs) lifestyles leave muscles flabby and unable to pump our lymphatic system (immune system), leaving us prone to illness, and slower at recovering from disease.
