Massage is the manipulation of layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance the function of body and help promote relaxation and a state of well-being.

Medical research has shown that the benefits of massage include pain relief, reduced anxiety and depression, stress relief, temporarily reducing blood pressure and heart rate. It is believed that by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, massage therapy may stimulate the release of endorphins and serotonin helping the body to relax. Clinical studies have also shown that other benefits include the possibility in the prevention of fibrosis or scar tissue, increasing the flow of lymph, and improving sleep.

Neuromuscular Treatment
Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) is distinguished from other types of massage in that a semi constant pressure is applied to the body, often in the deeper layers of muscles, with the aim of stimulating specific areas of skeletal muscle. Generally, these areas of muscle are myofascial trigger points.

Postnatal Massage
Postnatal massage is just as important as prenatal massage in benefiting the new mother.

Postnatal massage can help promote structural realignment of the spine, hips and pelvis, decrease postpartum depression and is especially helpful as a new mother adapts to stresses of carrying and caring for her newborn.
