Benefits of Massage

The most obvious benefit shared by virtually everyone is that a full body massage makes you feel great! The stress-relieving, soothing results are enough for many to include massage as a regular part of their lives. Therapeutic massage involves manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm and stress.
It also improves functioning of the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems and may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injury and illness. Massage comes in many forms, including:
  • Swedish, a gentle, relaxing massage;
  • Pressure point therapy for specific diseases or injuries — from trigger point and myotherapy to shiatsu and acupressure;
  • Sports massage focuses on muscle groups relevant to the particular sport
