Massage Therapy
Research has shown massage improves circulation, energy levels, reduces stress and relieves muscle tightness and pain
Massage has an important place in health care since the ancient civilizations of the Chinese, Indians, Romans, Greeks and Persians.
Benefits
Modern research shows massage affects three different body systems beneficially:
- The musculoskeletal system – by physically stretching overly tight structures. This allows us to move more freely and easily and eliminates pain in joints and muscles.
- The blood and lymph circulation – this speeds up the elimination of unwanted substances from the blood stream and improves immune function.
- The nervous system – massage helps to calm the nervous system and produces that “feel good factor”.
Drinking plenty of water during this time will aid the toxins to flush from your body and speed up the healing process.
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage holistically treats the whole body and traces the discomfort back to the original cause, healing both the cause and the symptoms

Key benefits of Remedial Massage include:
- the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed
- the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort
- toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility
