With age, the joints stiffen and muscles get tight. The common bent over posture of old age occurs as a result of the body adapting to long term poor posture.
As posture becomes more bent forward the muscles have to work harder to keep the body balanced, which makes the muscles progressively tighter, and the opposing muscles increasingly weaker.
Muscle therapy stretches tight muscles, breaks up adhesions, and works out chronic muscular "knots" (or trigger points).
Integrating muscle therapy with a focused StrongPosture Exercise protocol will help you to feel young and move well. |

Evidence suggests that the immune system is greatly enhanced by the presence of the "feel good" endorphins released after a massage. Some also believe massage causes a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate due to reflex effects through the sympathetic nervous system.
After a massage many clients report sleeping well that night and waking up refreshed. The skin is moisturized and revitalized by the nourishing blend of lotions and oils used during therapy. The deep stroking helps in the penetration of aromatic oils, enriching the skin and soothing the senses. |

People suffering for years from old injuries (i.e. auto accident, workplace injuries, sports injuries, etc) as well as new traumas, have found neuromuscular massage helps eliminate their chronic nagging pain.
The severe pain caused by old and new traumas as well as chronic pain responds well to the gentle kneading and stretching of massage. Adhesions can be broken up, flexibility restored, and in some cases the appearance of scarring is lessened.
Massage therapy combined with other therapies that promote joint health, like chiropractic, can be very effective at rehabing even old injuries that went untreated.

The 21st century worker spends a lot of time sitting. Over time, tension and stress develop from overusing muscles from unbalanced sitting.
Many employers have found, as has research, that massage therapy is an excellent way to reduce stress. Employees are helped by improved morale, reduced absenteeism, and increased productivity.
Massage is a great investment as a reward for projects well done, or as a regular company habit encouraging healthy LifeHabits.
