Massage can relieve many types of muscle tightness, from a short-term muscle cramp to a habitually clenched jaw or tight shoulders. Massage acts directly on your muscles with stretching and kneading motions.

Injuries

Massage can help heal injuries such as tendinitis that develop over time, as well as ligament sprains or muscle strains caused by an accident. Massage reduces inflammation by increasing circulation, which removes waste products and brings nutrition to injured cells.

Pain or Restriction in Joints

What to expect from a massage

What parts of my body will be massaged?

Typical full body sessions include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck and shoulders.

What will the massage feel like?

It depends on the technique used. Your session will start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve muscle tension.

What should I do during the massage session?

Give the therapist feedback on his/her effectiveness, make yourself comfortable and relax.

Are there medical conditions that make massage inadvisable?
