Many sports injuries, car accidents, repetitive actions on the job, and tension from everyday stress can cause problems that will cause pain, headaches, decreased range of motion, lower your resistance to illnesses and compromise your lifestyle. Massage therapy can calm your nervous system and give you more energy. It will relieve many types of muscle tightness especially the back and neck area where most of us store tension. Muscles can become so contracted that they press onto nerves to the arms, hands and legs, causing pain, tingling and numbness.
Massage can release muscle spasm and tightness in the shoulders or hip to bring relief.
Massage will relieve headaches, or eyestrain, a low back pain during pregnancy, or the protective tensing of healthy muscles around an injury. You may be asked to fill out a confidential general information sheet and asked some general questions since there are conditions for which massage is NOT appropriate. You can choose between undressing completely or wearing your undergarments. Your massage therapist will give you privacy to undress, and you will be fully draped throughout your session except for the area being worked on. You will relax on a specially designed table that is designed for stability and comfort.
