Bodywork Goes Beyond Relaxation

What if an hour of massage did more for you than just take the pressures of the day away? What if that gentle Swedish massage helped you combat cancer? What if bodywork helped you recover from a strained hamstring in half the time? What if your sleep, digestion and mood all improved with massage and bodywork? What if these weren't just "what ifs"?

Massage: How it Helps

In an age of technical and, at times, impersonal medicine, massage offers
a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic approach based on the body's
natural ability to heal itself. Here are just a few ways massage can improve
your overall health:

• Increase circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs
• Stimulate flow of the lymph system, which helps to increase the cells that help fight certain cancers
• Relax and soften injured and overused muscles
• Reduce spasms and cramping
• Increase joint flexibility
• Reduce recovery time after strenuous workouts
• Release endorphins—the body's natural painkiller
• Reduce post-surgery adhesions and edema
• Improve range-of-motion and decrease discomfort for patients with low back pain
• Relieve pain of migraines and decrease the need for medication
• Provide exercise and stretching for atrophied muscles and reduce shortening of the muscles for those with restricted range of motion
• Reduce labor for expectant mothers
