~The power of  “touch”

Massage Therapy is a holistic procedure that affects all systems of the body; digestive, elimination, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, endocrine and nervous systems.

It is accomplished through specific manipulations with the hands on the soft tissue of the body for therapeutic effect.

A major concern is to realize and deal with the effects of stress . Massage Therapy makes us aware of how and where stress manifests itself in the form of tension in our bodies. Too much stress in our lives causes constant muscular tension. This tension or tightness reduces the flow of energy.

Massage Healing Tools

Touch as Therapy

Tension or tightness reduces the flow of energy. This energy may be in the form of blood and oxygen, nerves, lymph supply, or the major energy within us; Life Force or “Qi” (pronounced “chee” in Chinese or “kee” in Japanese). Reducing this flow, leads to feelings of fatigue, heaviness, density in some areas, reduced flexibility and range of motion in the joints. It increases the likelihood of strain and injury. It also leads to buildup of toxins in the body. Generally, blocked energy is felt as aches and pains but, can eventually lead to a wide range of more serious problems. Massage and touch therapies can, with the help of the client, release this tension and allow the body’s own energy to heal itself. Very often, old injuries and habits can still be causing compensatory imbalance in musculo-skeletal alignment.

Our external environment is often seen as the cause of stress . However, the environment’s ability to effect any individual’s level of stress is more often than not, determined by the individual’s attitude or mind set.

Many of today’s health problems arise from stress. Because stress upsets the delicate integral balance of all your body’s functions, regaining this balance requires a holistic approach.

Massage and Touch Therapies not only treats those parts of you which are a problem, but also affects the whole of your metabolism through normalizing your circulatory, muscular and nervous systems and their interdependent functioning.

Massage Therapy is safe and effective when used for stress management , but it is also widely used to help obtain relief from many specific problems, including the following:

migraines
post injury rehabilitation
whiplash
respiratory problems
arthritis
low back pain
circulatory problems
leg aches
neuritis/neuralgia
tendonitis/bursitis
digestive/lower bowel problems
neck & shoulder pain

Touch can benefit people of all ages and conditions — babies, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those in chronic care.

Music for Massage
