What is massage therapy? It is the hands on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body. This includes the muscles, connective tissue (ligaments and tendons) and joints. Massage therapy helps to relax the body and mind through the use of soothing hand strokes on the muscels, ligaments and tendons of the body. Massage therapy is scientifically proven to eliminate stress and improve circulation which is imperative for a healthy body. Massage therapy helps to relieve problem specific areas as well as the metabolism as a whole, by normalizing the circulatory, lymphatic, muscular, and nervous system.

The effects of massage therapy build off of each other; therefore regular massage treatments will bring the greatest benefits. Massage therapy on a regular basis can help to strengthen and tone the entire body, thereby helping to prevent unnecessary strain and injury that might otherwise occur due to excess tension and structural weaknesses.

Massage therapy assists in improving circulation to the organs throughout the body. Massages can help to stimulate or calm the nervous system.
