What is Massage Therapy?
Massage Therapy… an investment in your health and powerful ally in your self-care regimen.
Massage is the scientific art of assessing and manipulating the soft tissue structures of the body with the goal of improving and normalizing these systems. This includes manual techniques (using very subtle to deep pressure with hands, arms, elbows), active or passive stretching and and active movement.
It is estimated that over 90% of disease is related to physical, chemical, and/or emotional, stress. As we age, we all want to move easier in exercise and as we age. Skilled bodywork can eliminate problematic compensation patterns before they become chronic or debilitating, sometimes preventing more invasive procedures (e.g., surgery).
