Massage

Massage can help injuries heal more quickly and enhances physical and mental performance. Massage Therapy will stretch and relax muscles and connective tissue and help improve venous and lymphatic circulation. The movement of fluids in the body will assist the removal of metabolic wastes from the body’s tissues and help with the transport of oxygen and nutrients. Massage and Bodywork can bring awareness to “numbed” places in the body resulting from chronic tension by stimulating sensory receptors in the skin and muscles. Massage also induces the release of endorphins in the body which block pain and helps stimulate the flow of energy or chi along the acupuncture meridians.
