​What can massage do for you?

Generally, people use massage for either general relaxation and wellbeing, or to address a specific complaint, such as pain or limited range of motion. Research suggests massage therapy may contribute to both goals. 

 

Some of the general benefits of massage therapy may include:

• Physical relaxation

• Improved circulation, which nourishes cells and improves waste elimination

• Relief for tight muscles (knots) and other aches and pains

• Release of nerve compression (carpel tunnel, sciatica)

• Greater flexibility and range of motion

• Enhanced energy and vitality

• Some clinical styles may help heal scar tissue as well as tendon, ligament, and muscle tears
