Benefits of Massage and Bodywork
Massage for Injuries & Chronic Conditions:
An injury can cause pain and frustration when it prevents you from doing what you normally do in your everyday life. It can cause emotional stress and a sense of hopelessness.
A variety of massage techniques can alleviate discomfort associated with tendonitis, bulging discs, and muscle strains. Receiving massage for any of these conditions can help increase circulation and decrease edema (swelling).
Some other more chronic conditions can also interfere with desired quality of living, such as fibromyalgia, sciatica, frozen shoulder, GERDS (Acid Reflux), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (I.B.S.), Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, T.M.J. Disorder, etc. There are specific massage techniques that can decrease frequency of pain and even prevent recurrence of the problem.
Massage for General Relaxation and Reducing Anxiety and/or Depression
Any type of massage can induce an overall feeling of calmness and relaxation. Every one of us gets stress and anxiety due to our jobs, family, money, etc. Receiving a Swedish or a Hot Stone Massage in particular can really reduce stress and create a sense of peace of mind.
