images/pix/lower_back.jpgAn increasing number of research studies show that massage treatment lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation, relaxes muscles, and improves range of motion. Massage also increases the level of endorphins in the body which are anti-stress hormones that relieve pain naturally. Although massage does not increase muscle strength, it can stimulate inactive muscles, partially compensating for lack of exercise and inactivity. Therapeutic massage can also hasten and lead to a more complete recovery from exercise or injury.

Massage can help with the following conditions:

    - Low Back Pain
    - Tension Headaches
    - Stiff Neck or Shoulders
    - Muscle Overexertion
    - Poor Circulation
    - High Blood Pressure
    - Pulled or Strained Muscles
    - Depression
    - Stress
    - Tendinitis
    - Whiplash
    - Arthritis
    - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
    - Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
    - Restless Leg Syndrome
