Benefits of Massage

Massage feels good! Even those who have never had a professional massage will say massages are stress relieving and relaxing, but there's much more to a professional massage. Regular massages help your lymphatic system - helping you to stay healthy from things like the common cold and even possibly preventing cancer. These massages also increase your red and white blood cell count, improve circulation and provide more energy which means you'll feel better because your body is more able to perform as God intended. Massage even combats the physical effects of aging! Poor circulation can cause chills, headaches, stress and anxiety while massage helps improve circulation so you feel healthy and normal.

Everyone can benefit from deep tissue massage. It's especially good during pregnancy, for premature infants, for the disabled, and for the elderly.

About Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is therapeutic in nature. It focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue, and often a specific area of the body. Massage is proven to ease the damage of physical problems that arise from injuries, repetitive use, or an accumulation of stress. Deep tissue massage does not inflict pain; it brings out pain present within the body. Deep bodywork brings an awareness of tension and holding patterns within the body's structure, which in a sense allows your body and mind to synchronize.

Long slow strokes and firm pressure along the length of muscle bundles loosens fascia, allowing muscles to move freely. Short rapid friction across the grain of muscle tendon and fascia reduce adhesions. Deep manipulation of specific muscle groups, decrease acute or chronic pains and tension in the body.

The effects of deep tissue massage can take several days to be fully absorbed, you may feel stiff and sore, much like a good hard work out. Typically, this is a sign that stored toxins within the tissues of your body are working their way out.

About Pregnancy Massage

Many women say the massages they received while pregnant were the most relaxing massages of their life. That could be because of all the changes a woman feels in her muscle elasticity during pregnancy and from all the added stress on her body. Pregnancy massage offers the same benefits of normal massage plus it can even help alleviate any water retention, which so commonly occurs during pregnancy.

Our pregnancy massage begins with safe positioning for the pregnant body. The massage table is specially designed with hollow places to accommodate swelling breasts and pregnant tummy. For the most relaxing position while laying on the back the table is also adjusted up in a semi-reclining position. This is not only really comfortable, but it’s also safe for baby. Your massage therapist is equipped with body pillows and extra padding to make you feel like you’re being massaged on a cloud!
