Benefits of Massage

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
• Increase joint flexibility.
• Lessen depression and anxiety.
• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
• 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 migraine pain and headaches
