One of the main benefits of massage therapy is reduced muscular tension, which fosters a sense of relaxation throughout the body. Another benefit is increased lymph circulation, which enhances the elimination of toxins and wastes in the body. The lymph system is the one in charge of our immunity. Our bodies feel noticeably fatigued when our lymph system is under strain, as a result of too much activity, excessive exercise, or even long periods of inactivity such as sitting at your office desk. In both extremes, lactic acid builds up, contributing to cramped muscles and a general sluggishness that we've all experienced at one time or another. Getting rest corrects this imbalance but unfortunately inadequate sleep is all too common these days. You may ask, "what is a poor sluggish person to do?"  The answer is….massage!

The benefits of massage therapy begin almost immediately with the increase of blood flow to stiff and aching muscles.  Massage enhances the function of joints and muscles, improves circulation and general tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue.

Massage therapy triggers the body's natural release of pain-killing endorphins that have a pleasurable effect that soothes body aches and may shorten the time it takes for the body to recover from injury and illness. Massage can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture and reduce blood pressure.

Massage therapy can be invigorating or sedating, depending upon the type of massage you receive.
