You offer a lot of yourself, but you aren't made to give unendingly and never replenish. Massage Therapy helps you cope with stress and provides a way to relax and move through life’s challenges and transitions more gracefully.

By committing to care for yourself with massage, you boost the emotional and physical resources that support you in doing all the things you want and need to do.Relaxations Massage Therapy provides a professional, calm and soothing environment to enhance the relaxation massage experience. You will feel pampered and cared for.The need for touch:Research demonstrates that touch is necessary for normal infant development, and the need for touch continues throughout our lives. The caring touch of massage can help restore your energy and sense of well being. Well not a replacement for a loving partner or family, a nurturing massage can support your feeling of self-worth and sense of being connected to others.Sometimes all you really want is to pamper yourself with a gentle, soothing relaxation massage.Bev Wadsworth RMT is trained in Swedish Relaxation Massage and Therapeutic Massage. A longtime client of massage herself, she knows what makes a wonderful massage experienceMassage and Stress:Massage can help you cope with what may be your number one complaint – stress.Because massage relaxes the nervous system and alleviates muscle tightness, it can help relieve stress related conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and headaches. When you feel renewed and restored after a massage, daily aggravations seem less important and are easier to cope with. A tension relieving relaxation massage can also support you during emotionally stressful times or if you are in psychological counseling.Help for specific conditionsFibromyalgia :This condition associated with chronic pain and tender areas in the neck, trunk, and hips, primarily affects women. Massage helps by gently relieving “trigger points” and releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller. Massage can also restore blood flow to painfully tight muscles, eliminating waste products that irritate sensitive tissue. As a result you may experience less stiffness and fatigue, decreased insomnia, and a reduced need for pain medication. Finally, massage can provide a time and place to nurture yourself when you must adjust your activities to a slower paced lifestyle. Expect attention to your individual needs when you become a client of Relaxations Massage Therapy for Women. Your health is always my first concern. I will take the time to understand your condition and work along with your other health care providers to ensure the best possible treatment for you. Arthritis: Massage therapy given between inflammation flare-ups can help you cope with both the physical pain and mental stress of arthritis. Massage boosts circulation which enhances natural joint lubrication and flushes away irritating chemicals produced by inflammation. Gentle stretching and kneading of tight muscles around affected joints helps them relax and improves movement. Massage can also improve sleep, provide a break from anxiety, and act as an antidote to the isolation sometimes associated with arthritis.Pre-Menstrual syndrome:Massage helps calm your emotions, eases low back tension, and can decrease the pain of menstrual cramping. Massage and pregnancy:Pregnancy is a time of great changes, when your entire body adapts to the new life growing within. You need and deserve support, especially since two people now depend on your health and vitality. During pregnancy, massage can reduce the discomfort in the muscles of the back, hips, and legs caused by increased and redistributed weight. Gentle stroking reduces excess fluid retention by assisting the effective circulation and elimination of these fluids. Postpartum, the nurturing touch of massage can provide a needed comfort if you feel depressed, overwhelmed, or just need a relaxing break from the demands of caring for a newborn. Massage is helpful and enjoyable during a normal pregnancy. It is a good idea however to inform your primary health care provider before receiving prenatal or postpartum massage. Because massage is not appropriate for some conditions, keep your massage therapist updated about your health, including any changes, even if you are not sure they are important. Be sure to advise your massage therapist if you are pregnant as it is often recommended to wait until after the first trimester.Beauty care:Facial massage has long been used to promote a vibrant complexion and to combat the effects of stress and ageing. Because massage increases circulation, it can help to improve your skin tone. Massage oils and lotions also moisturise and soften your skin. The highest quality hypoallergenic massage lotion is used at Relaxations. It is suitable for sensitive skin and leaves your skin feeling non- oily and soft. “Relaxed, Professional Environment”You May Be Wondering…How much clothing do I need to remove?Most commonly people remove most or all of their clothing for a full body massage and are draped with a sheet throughout the session. Undress as much as is comfortable for you.If you are uncomfortable about receiving massage for this or any other reason, be sure to discuss your concerns with your massage therapist.Will I feel embarrassed about the massage therapist seeing my body?Massage therapists are there to help you feel better, not to judge you. They see a wide variety of body shapes and sizes and work each client as an individual. Since massage is an affirming experience, it can even help you come to appreciate your own body more.Will massage hurt?A massage should feel relaxing and enjoyable. If your massage therapist is working in an area of chronic pain there may be some initial discomfort which should quickly ease. If you do experience pain during a massage always let the therapist know so the massage pressure can be adapted to your comfort level.How frequently should I get a massage?The more often you receive a massage, the more you will notice the benefits. Your therapist will help you decide the best frequency for your appointments to meet your specific needs.Isn't massage a luxury? Can I afford it?Even if massage were just an enjoyable experience, you deserve it. But massage is more than a luxury. It promotes heath by relieving stress, reducing muscle tension, increasing circulation, and enhancing your overall energy and vitality. Receiving a massage is an investment in you.
