Benefits of the Massage Treatments:        Physical | Physiological | Pyscological

Massage is undoubtedly one of the most primitive forms of treatment for body pain and stress which has been used by our earliest ancestors to relieve their body aches and pains and to relax their tired bodies.   It has now been scientifically proven that massage does provide incredible benefits to the human body when taken regularly.  Massage treatment does not only relax your mind and body but it can cause specific physical, physiological and psychological effects that can alleviate pain and promote a truly lasting sense of well-being.

Physical Effects:

• Removal of metabolic wastes and the lowering of pressure in the muscle tissues and fascia will reduce irritation of nerve endings via Lymphatic Drainage. A balancing effect will occur in the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) resulting to a decrease in blood pressure and also reduce the production of adrenalin.

• Blood circulation will be stimulated aiding in the reduction of excess body wastes and removal of metabolic waste products from the tissues.

• The opening of surface capillaries will provide an increased supply of nutrients and oxygen to the reproductive layers of the skin.

• Improves range of motion

• Restores suppleness

• Separates muscle adhesions and softens scar tissue caused by injury or overuse

• Stretches the muscles and improves flexibility
