The benefits of massage therapy
Massage therapy combines a range of techniques to treat injury and alleviate chronic pain, including deep tissue massage, heat treatments and advanced stretching. It aims to improve the clients range of motion and mobility through non-invasive, low-risk treatments.
Massage
Massage has been found to have many benefits, including both positive physiological and psychological effects. Body massage has several objectives: to relax, to stimulate and to promote healing. When pressure is exerted, the body’s physiology is enhanced. Massage improves circulation, helping with the elimination of waste products and enhancing recovery. This helps the body to heal itself and increase health & well-being.
