What is Massage?

  Massage Therapy is based on the fact that the body's soft tissue structures - Muscles, Tendons, Ligaments, and Fascia - respond to touch. It involves the nurturing manipulation of these soft tissues to relieve discomfort  that is often associated with tension being stored there. Using a variety of professional massage techniques, the therapist works the clients muscles to help ease this stored tension, improve flexibility, and encourage better circulation. This works to help alleviate or prevent pain, and improve muscle recovery.

  Massage Therapy has a long and distinguished history, having been known to the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Japanese, Greeks, Romans,  and virtually every civilization before and since. There is little doubt that Massage was the first health procedure ever conceived. Isn't the first thing we do when we feel pain anywhere on our body is to rub it?

  Massage Therapy is now even being prescribed by some doctors and paid for by some insurance companies. We are beginning to think preventively and see the benefits of natural approaches to care that often have far less risk than pharmaceuticals or surgery.  Massage Therapy is one of the most powerful of these resources.
