Massage Therapy
Massage affects the body as a whole and can have many health and fitness benefits. Some of the physiological effects of massage include:
During a massage session, the client is unclothed (underwear DO stay ON) and covered by a towel or a sheet. Only the area being worked on is uncovered.
- Increased blood circulation, bringing more nutrients and oxygen to the soft tissues of the body and helping carry wastes and toxins away
- Increased lymph flow by manually assisting lymphatic drainage
- Improved nervous system balance by stimulating or soothing nerve endings, depending on the need of the individual at the time
- Enhanced skin condition
- Reduce pain
