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.

And remember, massage is not an indulgence if it takes away pain.  If it takes away pain it is healthcare. Massage can help specifically address a number of health issues:

• Alleviate or eliminate chronic low-back and neck pain and improve range of motion.
• Treat tendonitis such as "tennis elbow", plantar fasciitis, and rotator cuff strains and small tears.
• Treat "frozen shoulder".
• Treat jaw pain and TMJ syndrome.
• Treat sciatica and piriformis syndrome.
• Alleviate or eliminate migraine pain.
• Accelerate healing of sprained and strained muscles.
• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
• Relax & soften injured, tired, and overused muscles related to Parkinson's and MS and other somatic global conditions.
• Increase joint flexibility.
• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
• Reduce spasms and cramping.
• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues improving circulation thus promoting and accelerating healing.
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
• Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
• Lessen depression and anxiety.
• Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
• Reduce post-surgery adhesions and swelling.
• Ease medication dependence.
• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
