For many years, healing bodywork has been a holistic therapy that can be used to help balance one physically, emotionally, mentally & spiritually. A massage session can use a variety of strategies to work on the client's specific physical, emotional, mental & spiritual needs. Some of the results of a massage session can include:

• deep relaxation
  
• stress relief
  
• quieted mental activity
  
• clear energy flow
  
• tension release
  
• reinforces postitive attitude
  
• decreases cortisol levels
  

Massage therapy can also utilize various types of techniques to ease the different types of mental busyness that could possibly prevent the relaxed mind state (slow brain wave activity). The Relaxation Response occurs when mental activity is slowed to a relaxed state - which is usually associated with the practice of yoga or meditation. A good explaination of the relaxation response is "a natural and innate protective mechanism against overstress, which allows us to turn off harmful bodily effects by bringing on changes that decrease the heart rate, low metabolism, decrease breathing rate & bring the body back into what is possibly a healthier balance." - Herbert Benson M.D.

What is Massage Therapy?

Generally massage is considered part of complementary and alternative medicine, but has been increasing as a standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It has shown to be helpful in treating anxiety, digestive issues, fibromyalgia, headaches, insomnia, myofacial pain syndrome, sports injuries, etc. Massage therapy is the therapeutic manipulation of the body's soft tissues using a series of pressured movements. A therapist uses their hands, fingers, knees or forearms to administer touches ranging from light strokes to deep kneeding movements or in some cases, a massage device.
Although massage is not a replacement for regular medical care, studies have proven massage to be complementary to a wide range of medical conditions. It can also act as an alternative medicine for sports related injuries, joint pain and even scar tissue. Overall, massage is a great addition to your daily life to aide your body in achieving homeostasis in a naturally healthy way.
