Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy Feels Good and is Good for You
Massage on healthy tissue feels good. The normal response is to slow down, breathe deeply, and relax.
Your massage therapist uses gentle but firm pressure, gradually preparing you for deeper touch. The most effective and deepest massage works with the body's natural responses, not against them. Working in the area of an injury or chronic pain may first cause some discomfort, which usually lessens in the first few minutes. Your massage therapist knows ways to minimize pain, and will work carefully within what feels tight to you.
- Relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles
- Increases joint flexibility
- Reduces recovery time from strenuous workouts and eliminates subsequent pains of the athlete at any level
