Massage Therapy

Massage is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body - the muscles, tendons and ligaments. It also acts on the nervous system to help relax muscle tension, relieve stress and improve blood circulation.

Massage helps to create awareness of the areas in your body where tension is stored, and of how it feels to relax those areas.  Whether you are suffering from chronic pain or just want to relieve some stress, massage therapy can help to facilitate a more natural state of being.
