Touch For Good Health offers Therapeutic Massage which is a timeless, traditional method of healing and if you have not yet experienced the benefits of massage, it really is time you did. Exposure to stress causes our body to go into a ‘fight or flight’ mode that puts us in a state of tense, readiness. Our blood pressure, heart rate and adrenaline is increased and circulation to the extremities is diminished. Exposure to constant stress over time has a wearing effect on the body and lowers our resistance to disease.

Therapeutic massage allows a release of pent up tension and stress and brings our body back into a state of calm and relaxation. Aside from giving your body a respite from all the stress, it has numerous psychological benefits as well. Therapeutic massage connects your mind with your body and allows you to release negative emotions that your physical self has been harboring, sometimes unknowingly. By bringing the body back into balance and relaxation, you will be better able to cope with the challenges of day to day life.

Touch For Good Health recognizes that since the beginning of time therapeutic massage has been an integral part of our existence. Rubbing a sore muscle is as intrinsic as breathing. Throughout history there are records of therapeutic massage being used in many cultures as a primary component of healing. Written records of massage in China date back to 1400 B.C. around the start of the Shang Dynasty. The Hindu Tantra of India taught that the base of the spine was the central life force of the body and focused massage in that area.

The Romans historically used bathing and massage as an every day ritual of wellness. In ancient Greece massage was used in conjunction with diet, hydrotherapy, relaxation and herbs to create a system of healing that has been notorious and inspirational throughout the ages. Avicenna, one of the greatest Persion medics, advocated the use of therapeutic massage to facilitate healing. Henrik Ling, considered the father of Western massage established his system of massage as ‘Swedish Massage’ in 1813.

Touch For Good Health invites you to come and experience the many benefits of Therapeutic Massage as our ancestors did and empower yourself with the healing power of TOUCH.
