Massage Therapy

Massage therapy has been used for centuries in both Western and Eastern cultures. Massage therapy uses basic mechanical hand movements to help relieve pain, reduce stress and promote healing by improving circulation, deepening relaxation and providing an increased sense of physical awareness and emotional well being. It is effective in controlling chronic or acute pain, reducing stress and creating a sense of relaxation and well being. Therapeutic massage is used to help obtain relief from many specific problems, including low back pain, migraine and muscle tension headaches, whiplash, and neck and shoulder tension to name a few.
