Massage Therapy

What is massage therapy? “Massage therapy is the assessment of soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate physical function, or relieve pain.” By using therapeutic techniques and complementary modalities, our massage therapists can effectively reduce pain caused by injuries, headaches, car accidents, and other disorders. The process can also reduce acute and chronic stress by eliciting positive endorphin hormones that will allow you to feel relaxed and induce feelings of contentment.
