It is estimated that approximately 80% to 90% of disease is stress related.  Massage can
help alleviate this stress and help to keep you healthy.  The physical effects of massage
can help bring healthful changes to your body, reduces fatigue and increase your energy
so that you can handle stressful situations more easily.  Massage is good in small doses
but research indicates that a regular regimen of massage is highly beneficial for your body
and your mind!
Massage therapy can provide relief to all people, from the very young to our senior citizens.  
Weekend warriors, athletes, working mothers, stressed out employees, all can benefit from
massage therapy due to its calming effects on the nervous system.  Physical benefits
include increasing metabolism, increased healing, improved lymphatic function, prevention
and relieving of muscle cramps or spasms and improved circulation.  Increased nutrients to
the skin are delivered via increased blood flow.  Massage is essential in helping to keep your
skin healthy.  It is very effective for the management of pain such as the conditions listed
below. It has a calming effect, thereby decreasing anxiety and stress as well as promoting a
sense of renewed energy.  Massage is beneficial for many conditions but if there is injury or
illness present, the consent of a physician may be required.

Massage stimulates your sensory nerve endings and can affect body tissue and its
function.  Many organs of your body are positively affected by massage therapy.

Massage nourished your muscles by encouraging new circulation into the muscles and
stimulating its supply of nerves and cells.  Routine massage can help the muscles become
firm and more flexible.  It also relaxes the muscles and releases muscle spasms as well as
pain and stiffness.

People with limited range of motion can also benefit from massage therapy.  The massage
therapist will slowly move your limbs through a normal range of motion without your
assistance and slowly increase it.  This is referred to as passive range of motion.  Passive
range of motion can lengthen muscles and lubricate the joints. Massage therapy be
beneficial to people with injuries who have limited use of a limb or those who don't use the
limb due to pain. Injured tissue can heal quicker with the use of massage therapy thereby
reducing adhesions and loss of use.  Massage can also prevent connective tissue from
thickening allowing a greater flexibility.  

Your sensory nervous system is also influenced by massage.  These nerves send
messages to your central nervous system about your body.  Depending on the technique
used by the massage therapist, the messages can be stimulating or calming.

Headache sufferers can greatly benefit from massage therapy.  The body releases a
natural pain killer called endorphins and the secretion is increased during massage, thereby
decreasing pain felt by the client. This can be a great help for chronic pain sufferers.  
Massage is a natural, non invasive method of dealing with chronic pain and has effects not
only on the injured area but the entire body as well.

Increased blood circulation as well as the quality of blood is also an effect of massage and
this can reduce the work load on the heart.  Pressure against the blood vessels during
massage helps to move the blood as well as being therapeutic in the maintaining the tone
of the vessel.

Massage can also help people get in touch with their bodies.  Sometimes a therapist will
find an area of tight muscles that the client was previously unaware of.  By making the client
aware of this, this enables him to be alert to it and try to relax that area not just during the
massage but also when he is engaged in his normal activities.

Massage can also be helpful in insomnia.  The relaxation effects of massage therapy can
be very helpful to someone who is having sleep issues.

I consider massage to be a vital part of maintenance and prevention of disease in this
stressful world that we live in.  No wonder the ancient people of the world utilized massage.

Useful for all of the conditions listed below, massage can:
