Massage stimulates the brain to produce endorphins which in turn reduces pain and enhances your feeling of wellness.

In scientific studies published in peer-reviewed journals, it has been found to assist cancer patients in dealing with anxiety, reduced post-traumatic headaches, and even reduce pain after heart bypass surgery.

Within our practice, we find it effective in easing the suffering of any patient in pain and it encourages feelings of wellness.

Massage therapy works to ease tense and knotted muscles and stiff joints and enhances mobility and flexibility.

It also stimulates blood circulation to enhance the supply of oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and help the patient’s lymphatic system flush away waste products.
