Benefits of Massage
Massage therapy, when combined with traditional medical treatments, is used to reduce stress and pain and promote healing in people with certain health conditions.
Massage can relieve tension in your muscles, and most people use it for relaxation, relief of stress and anxiety, or to reduce muscle soreness. Massage can also cause your body to release natural painkillers, and it may boost your immune system.
As a licensed massage therapist, Susan gives both therapeutic and relaxing massages. Therapeutic massages benefit those with medical problems such as:
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- frozen shoulder
- sciatica
- tension headaches
- TMJ
- and injuries from accidents.
Relaxing massages, such as Swedish and hot stone massages, can give relief to those with:
- sore muscles
- stress
- Cancer
by increasing circulation and the immune system.
