What is Massage Therapy?
What Problems Can Massage Therapy
Help?
Massage therapy is the hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues
of the body to gain a therapeutic response. Soft tissue includes muscles, skin,
connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, membranes and joints.
Therapeutic massage directly affects the muscular, circulatory and
nervous systems. Due to injuries, or the stress of daily life, all tissues in
the body lose their efficiency in repairing and restoring themselves to a
healthy and stress free condition. Massage techniques remove constriction in
the tissues, thus increasing the circulation of blood and lymph. This results
in the proper flow of metabolic waste out of the tissues and increases the
supply of oxygen and nutrients into the cells. This in turn helps to eliminate
unwanted pain.

Many of today's health problems arise from stress. Because stress
upsets the delicate integral balance of all your body's functions, regaining
this balance requires a holistic approach.
Massage therapy not only treats those parts of you which are a
problem, but also affects the whole of your metabolism through normalizing your
circulatory, muscular and nervous systems and their interdependent
functioning.
Massage therapy is safe and effective if used for stress
management, but it is also widely used to help clients obtain relief from many
specific problems, including the following:
- Migraines
- Post injury rehabilitation
- Whiplash
- Respiratory problems
- Arthritis
- Circulatory problems
- Frozen shoulder
- Neuritis/neuralgia
- Tendonitis/bursitis
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Low back pain
- Digestive/lower bowel problems
- Muscle spasms
- Sciatica
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Pregnancy
