Massage makes a positive
difference for my clients, helping them lead lives of health and wellness.
Yes, it really works! The many benefits of therapeutic massage include:
Relaxing muscles | Decreasing
pain | Relieving stress | Speeding
recovery | Additional benefits
Relaxing tight, sore muscles
Think about how good you feel after you stretch. Massage loosens tense
muscles by lengthening your muscle fibers and encouraging blood flow to
constricted areas. "I feel better than I’ve felt in a long time.
And my back pain is totally gone!" one of my clients shares. "If
muscles could sing, mine would be singing the 'Hallelujah Chorus'!"

Decreasing
chronic pain
In addition to easing muscular tension that strains your joints, massage
stimulates the production of the body's pain-fighting "feel-good"
hormones. After a few sessions, I asked one of my clients, who tried massage
because of nagging hip pain, "Has your hip been causing you any problems?"
Her reply: "No! And that's why I keep coming back!" And come
back, she does--every two weeks for more than four years and counting!

Relieving
stress and tension
Life is nuts! So take care of yourself by focusing time on you and your
health. This will help you be your best--and help you be there for others!
"I look forward to my massage as a time of blissful relaxation where
I can just be by myself and enjoy," says one of my clients, who treasures
his monthly massages as a way to renew and rejuvenate.

Speeding recovery time from illness and
injury
Massage
releases muscular trigger points that cause pain and put pressure on your
joints. After a car accident caused severe neck-and-shoulder pain, one
of my clients experienced a tightness in her throat that affected her
speech and breathing. The day after the first massage session focusing
on her facial, neck and shoulder muscles, she was amazed that her throat
constriction was 95% better. After her second massage session, her throat
troubles totally disappeared! She continued with regular massage sessions
for a few months, gradually spacing the sessions further apart, until
her neck-and-shoulder pain completely went away.

But that's not all! Massage therapy also:
• Calms the nervous system, leading to better-quality sleep and easing
depression and anxiety
• Improves circulation, bringing nutrients to your muscle tissues
and flushing out toxins
• Enhances immune-system function by encouraging lymph flow
• Helps prevent injury through improved muscle tone, flexibility
and range of motion
