Below is an explanation developed by the company through which I purchase my liability insurance; this first section is written by me.
Massage is vital. Now more than ever, us humans are understanding how important it is to focus on our own health so we may be of the most value to others with which we interact. From those who visit once a month, to those who come in every week, every body has different needs toward their best healing. I encourage visits to chiropractors, acupuncturists, occupational therapists, yoga instructors & apps; all with the intention of getting you closer to the pain-free body that makes your life easier to live.
Stress can wreck our tissues. Emotions work their way into our fascia and muscle, limiting flexibility, and even the desire to move the body.
Massage is to wake up those tissues, bring them to live, and get you moving!
Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:
- Decreased anxiety.
- Enhanced sleep quality.
- Greater energy.
- Improved concentration.
- Increased circulation.
- Reduced fatigue.
Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:
- Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
- 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.
- Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
- Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
- Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
- Increase joint flexibility.
- Lessen depression and anxiety.
- Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
- Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
- Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
- Reduce spasms and cramping.
- Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
- Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
- Relieve migraine pain.
