Out with the bad, in with the good

Therapeutic deep massage increases the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid. Manual stimulation of the lymphatics is important because, unlike blood which is pumped throughout our body by our heart, this cleansing system relies on muscular movement and manual stimulation to help flush wastes. Improving nutrient and oxygen delivery and waste removal supports our body's natural detoxification processes. This greatly enhances the body's efforts to regain and maintain health.

Improve digestion

Increased circulation to abdominal organs improves their function. Abdominal massage can speed the passage of solid wastes from our diet. Often digestive problems are assisted by the use of specific techniques. 

Relax and relieve pain

Deep massage relaxes the central nervous system. If your tension is from stress, massage can calm you psychologically as well as physically. Muscular tension impedes the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid into affected areas. Pressure on nerves is also reduced. Addressing this tension helps ease pain and discomfort whether from a reduction of oxygen supply, a build up of metabolic wastes, or direct pressure on nervous pathways. Because the nervous system governs both physical and psychological stress, emotional tension is also relieved. The soothing sensation of a therapist's touch can calm your nerves. A good foot massage in the bath at the end of a long day helps the stress melt away.

Sleep better

Massage relaxes the sympathetic nervous system which keeps us awake while stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system which helps us unwind. Together these effects bring us a good night's sleep.

Boost immunity

As nutrient and waste transport improves so does our body's ability to restore and repair itself and resist infection. As our stress levels drop, so does the likelihood of developing more serious disease. Think of a regular massage as a pleasurable form of preventative medicine!

Having a massage regularly improves many areas of your well-being; it relieves stress, eases pain, improves digestion and boosts your immune system. A pampering way to improve your well being and health!
