Massage Therapy & Yoga are sweet complements to one another. In an age of technical & at times, impersonal medicine, Massage Therapy increases relaxation, balances energy & restores an overall feeling of mental, physical & spiritual well-being. It offers a drug-free, non-invasive, and humanistic approach based on the body's natural ability to heal itself. Following is a brief list of the many known, research-based benefits of massage & bodywork:
- Increases circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues & vital organs.
- Stimulates the flow of lymph, the body's natural defense system, against toxic invaders. Increased circulation of blood & lymph systems improves the condition of the body's largest organ -the skin.
- Relaxes & softens injured or overused muscles & helps prepare the body for strenuous workouts, reducing subsequent muscle pain of athletes at any level.
- Reduces pain, spasms, cramping & decreases the need for medication.
- Increases joint flexibility.
- Reduces recovery time.
- Releases endorphins -- the body's natural painkiller -- & is proving very beneficial in patients with chronic illness, injury, & post-op pain.
- Improves range-of-motion
- Provides exercise & stretching for atrophied muscles & reduces shortening of the muscles for those with restricted range of motion.
