: Massage Therapy treats the muscles and soft tissues of the body to enhance health and healing and promote relaxation. Massage can complement
conventional medical treatment for many conditions. Massage Therapy plays an important role in maintaining health and is much more than a luxury. Anyone and everyone can benefit from regularly scheduled massage therapy. Benefits range from lowering stress levels to decreasing pain. Massage Therapy calms your mind, relaxes your body, and restores balance for your mental and physical well-being. Massage can help to: 
■ Manage and decrease pain 
■ Reduce stress and anxiety 
■ Decrease muscle tension 
■ Lower blood pressure and heart rate 
■ Increase circulation & blood flow to bring oxygen to tight muscles 
■ Improve sleep and mood 
■ Encourage relaxation

■ Prevent muscles from weakening 
■ Relieve headaches and migraines
