MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage Therapy

What is massage therapy?

Therapeutic massage involves the manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm and stress; and to promote health and wellness. Therapeutic Massage and Muscular Therapy offer effective, drug-free treatment for pain and stress management.


Therapeutic Massage doesn’t just feel good. It reduces the heart rate and blood pressure, improves functioning of the blood circulation and lymph flow, improves range of motion, improves the muscular, skeletal and nervous systems and may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injury and illness.

How long is a massage?

A massage is usually one hour. This is enough time for a deeply relaxing full body massage, or more in-depth work on a particular area, for instance back, neck and shoulders. We also offer half-hour massages for concentration on one area of the body.

How will I feel after my massage?

Most people feel very relaxed after a massage. Many experience freedom from aches and pains that have built up from months of tension or repetitive activity in their daily life. People often feel an increase in energy that can last for several days.
