Facilitating change to restore and maintain balance and homeostasis in the body. Studies have suggested that massage has been around and practiced for hundreds and thousands of years (before 400BC!) used by ancient people all over the world. Presently it continues to grow not only as a means of relaxation, but as a way to heal the body; relieving it from pain and increasing it's mobility, ability,
and overall health. It is not uncommon for our tissues to become painful, adhered or tense due to stress, exercise, bad nutrition, increased activity, dehydration, pregnancy, sports, emotions, injury, or simply sitting in an office chair all day. When these blockages are present our blood, nutrients, oxygen, and metabolic waste cannot flow as they should throughout the body. Many negative effects can come from these stresses such as low back pain, numbing, sciatic problems, adhesions (knots), trigger points, and an array of pathologies. Massage and the power of touch provide a way to help guide your body back to a state of homeostasis or balance. A few benefits can include:
Pain relief
Decreased anxiety or stress
Increased blood circulation or regulation
Increased immunity
Better range of motion and flexibility
Nerve stimulation
Improved sleep and digestion
.. the list goes on!
