The Need for Touch. Massage as a healing tool has been around for thousands of years in many cultures. Touching is a natural human reaction to pain and stress, and for conveying compassion and support.
In an age of technical and, at times, impersonal medicine, massage offers a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic approach based on the body's natural ability to heal itself. So what exactly are the benefits to receiving regular massage and/or bodywork treatments?

WHY MASSAGE?                                                                 

Circulation - During massage, the amount of blood pumped to the heart is increased due to the expansion of the capillaries. This causes a temporary reduction in systolic, and diastolic blood pressure, as well as a slight increase in the heart rate.

Digestive System - One of the primary functions of the digestive system is to remove metabolic waste from the body. Massage can improve the functions of the digestive system and relieve these symptoms by stimulating peristalsis, the spontaneous massage action of the intestines.

Emotions - The negative emotions we sometimes store inside can lead to tension in the muscles, which can be alleviated through the movements of massage. The counter pressure on the muscles dissipates tension, freeing it to be converted into energy.

Joints - Massage can soothe joint pain caused by injury, inflammation, and every day exertion by promoting increased blood flows to the affected areas.

Lungs - Breathing can be greatly improved through massage of the chest, shoulders, and back. Reducing tensions in these areas can assist in the removal of congestion from the lungs, aiding respiratory conditions.

Lymphatic System - The lymphatic system is a part of the body which helps fight infection. Through massage, congestion in the lymphatic system may be eased, improving this system's overall effectiveness, and strengthening the body's ability to fight infection.

Muscles - One of the most common reasons for getting a massage is relief of muscle tension. Massage releases built up tension from tight muscles, enabling them to once again work efficiently.

Nervous System - The nervous system assists in the regulation of all other systems of the body. Through massage the nervous system is calmed, allowing better communication with the organs, helping them to operate more effectively.

Skin - During massage, perspiration may be increased, thereby removing additional toxins from the body.

Reiki is a natural method of healing and self-improvement that can benefit everyone. It has shown to be effective in helping illnesses and maladies, and also works in conjunction with other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. The combination of reiki and massage therapy provides a partnership toward wellness.

Massage can do more than just relax and rejuvenate a person. There are many benefits to massage therapy. To increase health and improve well-being, schedule an appointment with your massage therapist today. The incredible benefits of massage are double  powerful if taken in regular "doses."
