Therapeutic Massage

Our Massage therapists are certified and experienced in neuromuscular therapy and other techniques. Massage therapy helps stimulate the body’s blood flow and acts as a “mechanical cleanser” of toxic wastes. It can reduce muscle spasms and relieve tension, as it lessens pain and facilitates movement.

Neuromuscular therapy works by kneading and stroking muscles to relax them and uses friction to stimulate soft tissues. This therapy can increase blood and lymph circulation, while breaking up scar tissue between muscle fibers. In this way, it acts as a mechanical cleanser that hastens the elimination of body wastes and toxic debris.

 

Massage is useful in many conditions in which body relaxation, the reduction of swelling and muscle mobilization is desired. It can be helpful in overcoming the swelling and pooling of fluids at the site of recent injury or trauma. In addition, massage is a relaxing experience that can have psychological benefits-especially in the early stages of rehabilitation. Massage enhances joint and muscle function and promotes the healing process.
