Massage Benefits

Many people think massage is just a luxury. Massage actually has many health benefits. It reduces blood pressure, pain, inflammation, hypertension, and physical and emotional stress. It increases circulation, relaxation, range of motion and helps the digestive system work more effectively. It is important to drink plenty of water on the day of your massage, because massage releases toxins that then need to be flushed out of your system.

More insurance companies are beginning to understand the benefits of massage. Check with your insurance company to see if it is a covered benefit. If not we have cash discount rates available.
