Experience the Many Benefits
of
Massage Therapy
Physical Benefits: Massage stretches and loosens muscles, improves blood flow, relieves pain, and improves immune responses. In addition, massage facilitates the removal of lactic acid buildup from muscles, and stimulates the release of endorphins - the body's natural painkiller - into the brain and nervous system.
Mental Benefits: Massage promotes a relaxed state of alertness, reduces mental stress, enhances the capacity of calm thinking and is soothing.
Emotional Benefits: Massage creates a feeling of well being and reduces anxiety levels.
Our massage therapists concentrate on painful and symptomatic areas as they treat the deeper component of your musculature, thus increasing the body’s rehabilitative abilities. Massage Therapy is often used in preparation for a spinal manipulation/adjustment. Massage relieves muscle tension and warms the soft tissues in the area, making joints more pliable and more receptive to the adjustment.
