Stress creates muscular tension in the body.  Through bodywork we ease tension in the muscles, which in turn helps us relax and adapt to stress.

Many physical aches and pains can be addressed and alleviated via massage.  Like tuning a guitar, massage and stretching help to tune our nervous system, joints, and muscles.  This often results in a reduction in pain levels and an improvement in performance and proprioception.

Massage can shorten recovery times in between training sessions, as well as post-operative care in some cases.  It reduces the amount of scar tissue that forms in an area and also promotes circulation and cell renewal.

Massage directly affects the skin, muscular and soft tissue systems of the body. It indirectly affects the nervous, immune, and circulatory systems.  Bodywork has a wide-reaching effect upon most of the bodies various systems and is a powerful tool to maintain and preserve excellent health.

Massage can be used to undo muscular knots and adhesions.  It can also restore length and elasticity to your tissues and improve range of motion and function.

Because of the widespread impacts of massage on the various systems of the body, people who get massages regularly will have healthier tissues than people who do not. Massage improves circulation and reduces stress and is a useful tool in helping us to age gracefully.
