Massage For Everyone
Massage is defined as "the systematic manual or mechanical manipulations of the soft tissues of the body by movements such as rubbing, kneading, pressing, rolling, slapping, and tapping for therapeutic purposes"
Massage works with the soft tissues of the body. It does not work on bones or the bone structure. However, since the bones are surrounded by muscle and soft tissue, massage can help with dysfunction related to bones.
It is a form of therapy that works very well in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, yoga, exercise, meditation, relaxation, or whatever else you do to care for yourself.

Who should have a Massage?
​
Adults of all ages and just about any physical condition who want to recover, prevent, and maintain their health can benefit from Massage Therapy.
​
Children who are active and may be recovering from major or minor injuries still have tight muscles, and starting them on massage early will help train their muscles to learn what is 'healthy' and better maintain it.
​
Pregnant Women can benefit from Massage Therapy to relieve fatigue, soreness, edema, and other discomforts. See more about Prenatal Massage Here
​
Infants have decreased issues such as tummy problems and stress (yes, infants get stressed!) plus massage stimulates muscle coordination and brain development. Plus, parents who massage their infants gain a bond and trust with the babies and can help ease or cure simple issues without medications or frequent trips to the doctor.
