Thank you for visiting my page. My name is Isaac Torres, and I am the owner at I.T. Massage Therapy Services, and I am deaf. My interests have always been medical. My desire to help people have healthier lives spans decades back to when I was a young college boy. I have a deep interest in helping individuals be a better version of themselves physically and mentally. This all began when I was still a teenager in a small community college where I started a job in Adaptive Physical Education, where I was, in essence, a Physical Therapy Tech under the supervision of an instructor.
The patients, individuals from different age groups, were mostly in their 60s-80s. And there were patients with different conditions that ranged from Multiple Sclerosis to stroke to brain damage from car accidents. I developed a sincere connection with my patients. It is always what I remember the most of my time at that particular community college in the small town of Porterville, CA. From there, my interests evolved to Personal Training/Nutritional Consulting and now Massage Therapy and Physical Therapy. I believe in what I do as it has a medical purpose. Massage affects the body and mind. It has the capacity to affect every other system in the body by way of our muscles. The benefits of massage are many, and they are invaluable.
However, the main thing that I want to affect with the practice of massage is stress and by way of reducing stress, affect the production of cortisol and adrenaline within the body as the reduction of these two hormones will improve sleep and the overall well-being of individuals who receive a massage. As the Mayo Clinic (2020) states:
The body's stress-response system is usually self-limiting. Once a perceived threat has passed, hormone levels return to normal. As adrenaline and cortisol levels drop, your heart rate and blood pressure return to baseline levels, and other systems resume their regular activities.
But when stressors are always present and you constantly feel under attack, that fight-or-flight reaction stays turned on.
The long-term activation of the stress-response system and the overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones that follows can disrupt almost all your body's processes. This puts you at increased risk of many health problems, including:
-Anxiety
-Depression
-Digestive problems
-Headaches
-Heart disease
-Sleep problems
-Weight gain
-Memory and concentration impairment (sec. 2).
So, it is with great motivation and excitement that I am now able to offer my Massage Therapy services out of About Face Design Team salon. And not only that, I am also offering facials, which I also use with the same intent as Massage Therapy: to reduce stress but also to improve gently the overall well-being of skin. I hope to be able to see you, the reader of this informatic, soon at About Face Design Team salon, where we at I.T Massage Therapy Services, in conjunction with About Face Design Team salon, maintain the highest level of professionalism, cleanliness, and sterilization/disinfection of all surfaces in order to keep you safe.
