BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage is nourishing - mentally, emotionally, as well as physically. One of the nicest things you can do for yourself is to set aside some time for a relaxing, therapeutic massage. Studies have demonstrated massage can:

Relieve muscular tension and manage stress, reducing levels of cortisol, a stress hormone. Hasten recovery from strenuous physical exertion by aiding to rid the muscles of metabolic waste. Increase circulation of blood and lymph thereby assisting the body in removing toxins and providing nourishment to tissues. Breakdown scar tissue following surgery or injury and encourage the replacement of healthier, less restrictive tissue. Boost the immune system through the increase of white blood cells and activation of fighter T-cells. YOU CHOOSE WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU
