Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage and relaxation

A massage is the ideal moment to let go and relax, and jump back into your day feeling refreshed.

Increase your energy while doing something good for yourself; a massage should be a regular part of your routine.

An increasing number of research studies show massage reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins (enhancing medical treatment).

Although therapeutic massage does not increase muscle strength, it can stimulate weak, inactive muscles and, thus, partially compensate for the lack of exercise and inactivity resulting from illness or injury. It also can hasten and lead to a more complete recovery from exercise or injury
