The Health Benefits of Massage

Professional massage therapy is designed to optimize the body’s performance and to be included as part of one’s preventative health maintenance plan. Why a plan?  Because you deserve it.  Your body works hard for you every day of your life.  With regular care and maintenance through rest, proper nutrition, daily stretching/exercise, and massage you can greatly extend the life and well-being of your faithful companion, your body.

Receiving a professional massage once a month (considered a basic maintenance schedule) will improve your health on many levels.  Think of it as an investment in yourself!  As the saying goes: Put the money into preventative care now, or put it into repair care later.  The repair care is much more costly and not nearly as enjoyable.

Below is a sample list of all the amazing health benefits you can receive from a regularly scheduled, professional massage:

Receive healthy touch • Reduce stress • Decrease physical pain • Increase physical performance • Enhance mental focus and productivity • Reduce occurrence of injuries • Relieve muscle tension and stiffness • Increase flexibility • Promote general well-being • Reduce emotional pain • Reduce anxiety • Improve circulation • Encourage sound sleep • Reduce edema • Increase stamina • Accelerate injury rehabilitation • Experience relaxation • Feel pampered • Improve overall health • Enhance mobility
