Goals
It’s really simple. I want to help YOU feel better physically, physiologically and mentally. INCREASED CIRCULATION is the primary benefit of massage. Chronic tension produces chronic tightness in the muscular system. Increased circulation allows more oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells and tissues, which helps to eliminate those "knots" we associate with tight muscles. RELAXATION is a secondary effect of massage. Massage triggers the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system. This action sends messages to the body to relax, slow down and take a deep breath. Massage stimulates the relaxation response, resulting in the release of muscle tension, increased circulation and activation of sensory receptors.
“Just adding massage makes such an incredible difference. In everything we’ve done, massage is significantly effective. There’s not a single condition we’ve looked at—including cancer—that hasn’t responded positively to massage.”
