The Benefits of Massage

There are a variety of Benefits to answer the question we most frequently receive; “Why massage”?

As Massage Therapists, we see the benefits our clients receive almost immediately after each massage. 
Which is why it is exciting to see when our clients leave feeling more relaxed and in less pain.

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of modern disease is stress-related.
Perhaps nothing ages us faster, than high stress.
Studies show, massage is an effective tool for managing such stress. 
You will notice the benefits of Massage as:

  • Decreased anxiety.
  • Enhanced sleep quality.
  • Greater energy.
  • Improved concentration and circulation.
  • Reduced fatigue.

Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues.

  • Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
  • Ease medication dependence.
  • Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow, the body’s natural defense system.
