MASSAGE THERAPY Massage is the direct manipulation of the skin, soft tissues and organs of the human body. Direct manipulation of these structures affects the superficial fascia, muscles, veins, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules of the body. Massage can often relieve numerous conditions including: • Headaches (including migraines) • Insomnia Depression/Anxiety • Sprains and strains • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Arthritis • Constipation Massage increases the circulation of blood and lymph flow, increases the elasticity of the skin and fascia, and improves the body's ability to nourish the skin, musculature, and other deeper tissues. Massage also improves digestion. As the body relaxes during massage, various systems of the body slow. The digestive system speeds up because you are relaxed, which in turn allows your body to process and digest, which often results in a growling stomach. Your body will be thankful for the time you allowed for it to relax and restore.

On your first visit with our Massage Therapist, a brief medical history will be taken. This allows the Therapist to learn about you, your body and your body's needs. Because every person has unique needs, every massage is different. Our Therapists will skillfully apply different techniques to accelerate the process of healing not only the physical body, but the emotional and spiritual level of the body. Your comfort is the most important thing. Please feel free to undress to your level of comfort.
