23.01.2022 As good as a back rub from your Sweetie feels, sometimes you need the hands of a professional. That's because a growing body of evidence suggests muscle therapy provides a long and varied list of health benefits. In fact, more people get their muscles kneaded and rubbed for medical purposes than they do for relaxation or pampering, according to a recent survey. You know massage helps reduce stress and tension; here are some more potential benefits, based on research compiled ...by the American Massage Therapy Association: Relieve chronic low-back pain. Nearly everyone at some point has back pain that interferes with work and daily activities; if it lasts more than three months, it's considered chronic. One study showed people with long-lasting low-back pain who got a one-hour Swedish or structural massage once a week for 10 weeks felt and functioned significantly better and faster than those who received standard medical care; they also used less over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs. Other research found massage helps with osteoarthritis of the knee pain, fibromyalgia and nerve pain, among others. Ease anxiety. A review of studies that measured the stress hormone cortisol in people before and immediately after massage found the therapy lowered levels by up to about 50%. Massage also increased serotonin and dopamine, two neurotransmitters that help reduce depression. That may play into why massage has been shown to help people with anxiety disorders, to increase calm before surgery and to decrease stress and depression in cancer patients; in fact, a recent Turkish study found back massages given during chemotherapy significantly reduced anxiety and fatigue. Reduce blood pressure. Women with prehypertension (or slightly elevated blood pressure) who received three 10-minute Swedish massages a week for 10 total sessions lowered their pressure more than patients who relaxed in the same environment but with no massage, according to a small study. Other more recent research on 35 older adults showed therapeutic massage also helped reduce blood pressure, as well as improve stability. Boost immunity. Massage may give the immune system a boost by helping to increase activity levels of natural killer T cells, which fight off viruses and tumors. Past, preliminary science suggested full-body massage enhanced immune function of women with breast cancer; a newer but also early study on premature babies came to a similar conclusion: Those who received massage therapy had more active killer immune cells (and gained weight faster), compared with infants in the control group.

22.01.2022 Treatments: Intuitive Massage: 1 hour - $60.00 I am a Remedial Massage Therapist, but I prefer a more personal approach for my clients. I do this by working intuitively with area's of the body that are most in need of stress relief and therapy, and this varies for each individual client. ... Foot Massage/Reflexology: 30 Minutes - $40.00 I have given and experienced many types of different massage therapies personally, and to me, foot massage is the best way to provoke gentle healing of chronic health problems, and induce deep relaxation. I always include this therapy as part as my normal Intuitive Massage Therapy. Pregnancy Massage: 90 Minutes - $110.00 Pregnancy is a beautiful and also stressful time for most Women. Many experience lower back pain during the last trimester of pregnancy, and swelling of legs and feet. This massage therapy is gentle, but focuses on the reduction of tension in these area's. This therapy is finished off with head and shoulder massage and reflexology to promote a deep sense of well being and relaxation. Head & Shoulder Massage: 30 Minutes - $40.00 For most people, the neck and shoulder area is where we store most of our tension. If you are time poor but needing a release from neck, shoulder and upper back tension and pain, this is a great therapy. Or any combination of the above treatments - $120.00 Sometimes it is just wonderful to indulge ourselves, and really have an amazing pamper. A 90 minute massage, including Intuitive Massage, and head, hands and feet, may be just the treatment you need to put the bounce back into your step!
