Benefits of Bodywork and Massage Therapy
A few of these wonderful benefits include:
- Increased circulation (through the tissues to move the toxins out into the blood stream where they can exit the body and move the nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood into the tissues)
- Relaxation
- General wellness and sense of well-being
- Relief from muscular tension, discomfort, and pain
- Better structural balance (structural balance translates into better circulation and more efficient bodily function)
- Improvement in performance in athletics, business and life.
Some specific problems that can be addressed:
- Neck, back and lower back pain
- Whiplash and other accident injuries
- Headaches of different types
- Joint pain (shoulder, elbow, knee, hip, ankle,wrist, hands and feet)
- Muscle pain, pulls, strains
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Plantar Fascitis and heel spurs
- Fibromyalgia
- Digestive problems (constipation, acid reflux, Hiatal hernia).
Touch, in the form of bodywork or massage therapy, can be a wonderful support for those who are on a healing path, such as counseling, psychotherapy, or a recovery program.
Our bodies are always striving for balance. Through injury, misuse, neglect, or illness our bodies may not be able to find their way back to balance without the support and stimulus of bodywork or massage, or the assistance offered by other practitioners such as an acupuncturist, chiropractor, physical therapist, physician or surgeon. You are unique and what works for you is unique. The wonderful fact is that you have a choice. Whether or not you have already tried some of the other alternatives, perhaps bodywork or massage therapy is what you need. I look forward to assisting you in any way that I can.
