Benefits of Massage

Why would you get a massage on a regular basis?

Massage therapy greatly assists the body to heal itself and to increase health and well-being. It is a holistic therapy that reduces the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.

* And massage feels great!
