Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

• Decreased anxiety.
• Less aches and pains.
• Enhanced sleep quality.
• Greater energy.
• Improved concentration.
• Increased circulation.
• Reduced fatigue.

Massage can also help specifically address a number of pain and health issues, including:

• Alleviate back, torso, neck, shoulder, limb, and extremity pain and improve range of motion.
• Relieve headache and migraine pain.
• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
• Reduce spasms and cramping.
• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
• Improve posture.
• Lower blood pressure
• Ease medication dependence.
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
• Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
• Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
• Reduce post-surgery adhesions and swelling.
• Lessen depression and anxiety.
• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
