MASSAGE

'Medicine' for the Body and Mind

     Research is showing the many benefits of touch. Having a massage does more than just relax your body and mind - there are specific changes that occur.  With more than 100 research studies completed, Miami's Touch Research Institute has found massage to have positive effects on children with asthma (improved pulmonary function and less stress), arthritis (decreased pain), cerebal palsy (decreased spasticity), leukemia (white blood cells increased) just to name a few.

     One very valuable aspect of massage is its role in reducing stress. Experts estimate that upwards of 90 percent of disease is stress related. Massage & bodywork combat those high numbers by helping us remember what it really means to relax.  Besides decreasing anxiety through relaxation, massage also lowers blood pressure, increases circulation, helps you sleep better, increases concentration and reduces fatique. Some of the other benefits are:

• Improves range of motion and decreases discomfort from low-back pain
• Increases joint flexibility
• Relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles
• Relieves pain for migraine sufferers and decreases the need for medication
• Stimulates the flow of lymph - the body's natural defense system - against toxic invaders
• Reduces spasms and cramping
• Assists with shorter labor for expectant mothers, as well as less need for medication
