SERVICES
I believe that by including regular massage in your life, you will –
Feel better, look better, have increased energy, reduce stress, prevent & eliminate injuries so you can become stronger, more focused and a healthier you.

Sounds good doesn’t it. GREAT NEWS… It feels even better!!

With so many alternative health treatments available it's little wonder people get confused about where to go when they're not feeling the best.

Think about this fact - Massage has been used by the Chinese to heal since 5,000 BC and how can they be wrong.

The effect of the kneading, stripping, and pressing of the skin and muscles increases blood and lymph circulation throughout the body (lymph is a fluid that helps rid the body tissues of waste). An active person will have better lymph flow than an inactive person. However Active people create more waste.

Here is where massage can really benefit you, dramatically improving blood & lymph movement, oxygen supplies, nutrients & helping to remove toxins & waste from the body (this is also the reason you feel different after a massage).
Having good circulation is important to good health.

Massage and Sport -
Massage plays a part in every form of sport or exercise. Unfortunately, many people believe aches and pains are an inevitable consequence to activity. But massage can actually reduce or eliminate what may appear to be exercise-induced pain.
It can increase endurance, control fatigue and help people feel better when used as part of a regular health program. Massage can also speed muscle recovery rates as it eliminates irritation from waste. By helping reduce fatigue and aid recovery, massage enables more productive training, with longer, more effective workouts. The ultimate spin-offs are better performance with fewer injuries. Exercise changes the way our muscles work. Blood vessels become more intricate as the body demands more oxygen and nutrients and increases waste elimination. This takes time. While the muscles are getting into shape, they can struggle to get enough oxygen and nutrients, so waste collects.

Massage and Injuries
Massage also helps recovery from soft tissue injuries such as sprains and strains. Tissue growth and repair is accelerated by efficient circulation and appropriate stimulation. Everybody experiences some form of stress through work, family, the environment and society. Mental tensions, frustrations, and insecurity cause the most damage. Hormones released by stress actually shrink the vessels, inhibiting circulation. A stressed mind and body means the heart works harder. Breathing becomes rapid and shallow and digestion slows. Nearly every body process is degraded. Studies show stress can cause migraines, hypertension (high blood pressure), depression, some peptic ulcers, etc. In fact, researchers have estimated 80% of disease is stress related. Soothing and relaxing massage therapy can counteract the effects of stress.
