Massage therapy spans a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, working to improve an individual's health and well-being through the hands-on manipulation of muscles and other soft tissues of the body.

Massage Therapy can:

• stretch and loosen muscles
• improve blood flow and the movement of lymph throughout the body
• remove metabolic wastes resulting from exercise or inactivity
• increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissue
• stimulate the release of endorphins - the body's natural painkiller - into the brain and nervous system
• provide a relaxed state of alertness
• reduce mental stress
• enhance capacity for calm thinking and creativity
• satisfy the need for caring and nurturing touch
• create a feeling of well-being and reduce anxiety levels
