Massage therapy not only treats those parts of you that are a problem, but also affects your whole body. It is not only your muscles that are treated during a massage, but also your circulatory and nervous systems. This helps to restore an overall feeling of well being.

Many of today’s health problems arise from stress. Because stress upsets the delicate balance of all your body’s functions, regaining this balance requires a holistic (whole body) approach.

Massage therapy is safe and effective for stress management, but is also highly effective for various other problems, including, but not limited to:

Anxiety and depression Asthma and Emphysema Back, neck and shoulder tension Breast tenderness/inflammation Cancer Carpal tunnel syndrome Cerebral Palsy Chronic Fatigue syndrome Circulatory problems Digestive/lower bowel problems Dislocations Edema (Inflammation) Fibromyalgia Fractures Frozen shoulder Gastrointestinal disorders Headache/ Migraine Inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and bursitis Insomnia

Kyphosis and Scoliosis Low back pain Multiple sclerosis Muscle spasm Neuritis/neuralgia (Nerve Pain) Parkinson’s disease Muscle tension and spasm Palliative care Post-injury rehabilitation Post-surgical rehabilitation Pregnancy and labour support Respiratory problems Repetitive Strain Injuries Sciatica Sports injuries Strains and sprains Stress and stress related conditions Stroke Tendonitis Whiplash

There are a few conditions where massage may not be recommended; acute inflammation (swelling), severe osteoporosis, hemophilia, red, irritated or rash on the skin, difficulty breathing or directly on varicose veins.

A massage should be a relaxing, pleasurable experience. The pain or pressure felt during some types of massage should always be temporary Finding the right therapist and the appropriate style can be daunting.

If you are not sure if massage is right for you, contact your Physician, or call / e-mail me and I’ll be happy to discuss it with you.
