We’ve all thought it, heard it or said it before, “I need a massage”. Once considered to be just hedonistic pampering for the rich and famous, massage therapy is now finding enormous popularity among people world-wide.

From infancy to old age, massage has been found to enhance general health and well-being. Therapeutic massage has many applications and variations. Because it is used for health promotion as well as for its curative aspects, it can truthfully be said “if you have a body, you can benefit from therapeutic massage.”

Numerous scientific research studies conducted in the United State, Europe, and Asia have well documented that far beyond simply “feeling good”, massage therapy has an impressive range of physical, mental, and emotional benefits.

In addition to the commonly known benefits of relaxation, improved circulation, and relief for muscle tension, new applications for therapeutic massage are surfacing in areas related to mental and emotional well-being, infant care, aging, and other special situations. Exciting new discoveries link touch in general, and therapeutic massage in particular, to improved immune system functioning.

Massage therapy is an important part of an overall wellness program. It has proven physical, emotional, and mental benefits.  To have something feel good and be good for you is not part of our national consciousness. Routine-maintenance massage - just getting one because it feels good - can be very therapeutic, particularly for people with such stress-induced ailments as ulcers, asthma, some types of hypertension, migraines and gastrointestinal disorders.

At some level our body knows how to take care of itself. But we spend a whole lot of time getting in the way of that process - by sitting in uncomfortable chairs, twisting our necks to talk on the telephone, eating improperly, driving around in heavy traffic thinking about our tight schedules and gripping the wheel. Massage puts the body back in line with the original design intent.
