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

Ease medication dependence

Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system

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

Increase joint flexibility

Lessen depression and anxiety

Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks

Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation

Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling

Reduce spasms and cramping

Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles

Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller

Relieve headache and migraine pain

Alleviate issues associated with TemporoMandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD)
