Benefits of massage:  YOU FEEL BETTER.  Isn't that what we all want, to feel better.  Below are some specifics regarding how you feel better and what type of health issues massage can address directly. 

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

Decreased anxiety.	Enhanced sleep quality.
Greater energy.	Improved concentration.
Increased circulation.	Reduced fatigue.

Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:

• Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
• Relieve migraine/headache/sinus pain.
• Increase joint flexibility.
• Lessen depression and anxiety.
• Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
• Reduce spasms and cramping.
• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
• Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
• Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
• Ease medication dependence.
• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
