Massage Benefits

Chronic Pain

Do you have a knot in your shoulder that just never goes away? Old sports injury, or trauma? Is your ache caused by the way you stand or the work you do?

Massage works to release those muscles and retrains them to work without the pain.

Circulation

Massage has amazing benefits on the circulatory system! Massage will push the fluids through your body, bringing nutrients where they are needed and moving the waste out of the tissue.

Postural dysfunctions

Massage helps bring your body back into balance. You may or may not be aware of the imbalance, but often times our bodies are turned or skewed holding onto a regular posture. Sometimes that posture is what is causing the ache! Massage helps bring balance back and reduce that pain.

Stress and Anxiety

By stepping away from your hectic day, and remembering how to breath, massage helps relax the body. Actually causing physical reactions within the body, massage helps the brain release seretonin, dopamine, and epinephrine. These chemicals inside the body create a relaxed euphoric state.

Immunity

By relaxing the body, massage helps your immune system have time to do its thing. From preventing the common cold to managing HIV, massage has amazing benefits and will help with many common ailments.

Well-being

All of these benefits of massage and so many more make it great for you, a person in your entirety. It's a great way to get out of pain, teach your body balance, learn how to relax, and in effect "reset" your body. All of this equals Wellness First Aid!
