| Massage therapy spans a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, working to improve an individual's health and well-being through the hands-on manipulation of muscles and other soft tissues of the body.
Massage Therapy can:
stretch and loosen muscles
improve blood flow and the movement of lymph throughout the body
remove metabolic wastes resulting from exercise or inactivity
increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissue
stimulate the release of endorphins - the body's natural painkiller - into the brain and nervous system
provide a relaxed state of alertness
reduce mental stress
enhance capacity for calm thinking and creativity
satisfy the need for caring and nurturing touch
create a feeling of well-being and reduce anxiety levels
