The Benefits of Massage & Bodywork

Valuable for every age and every body type, massage and bodywork have innumerable benefits.

Here are a few:
• Alleviates low-back pain and improves range of motion.
• Eases anxiety and depression.
• Enhances immunity by stimulating lymph flow.
• Exercises and stretches weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
• Increases joint flexibility
• Improves circulation by pumping oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs.
• Releases endorphins—the body’s natural painkiller.

Communication is Key

Massage Therapists are skilled at finding areas of tension throughout the body. However, they are unable to feel what you are feeling. Every individual has a unique pressure preference and that can vary from area to area on the body. Sore and damaged tissues can be highly sensitive. It is normal during a therapeutic massage to have moments of discomfort but you should not be in pain.

In order to work effectively and efficiently communication between the client and therapist is necessary.

Communicate your goals and expectations for the session prior to starting. The more you information you give before the appointment will direct focus to your areas of greatest need.

At all times you control the session with your communication.
