Massage involves pressure and movement to soft body tissues - to your skin, muscles, tendon and ligaments. Massage helps your body to "heal itself" by promoting the flow of blood and lymph, stimulating nerves, conditioning the skin, and stretching and loosening your muscles to keep them elastic.

What is Massage good for?

Massage has a positive psychological effect - when we are stressed, our breathing becomes more rapid and shallow, our hearts have to work harder and digestion slows down. Massage therapy can help to relieve tension and counteract the effects of stress on your body. Chronic stress can influence a number of common illnesses including migraines, depression and hypertension (high blood pressure).
