Here's why: Massage offers a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic approach

to well-being based on the body's natural ability to heal itself.

Massage therapy provides many benefits, such as:

• Increases circulation, which allows the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs

• Stimulates the lymph system, the body's natural defense, against toxic invaders. For example in breast cancer patients, massage has been shown to increase the cells that fight cancer.

• Releases endorphins, the body's natural painkiller. For this reason, massage is incorporated in treatment for chronic illnesses, injury and recovery from surgery to control and relieve pain.

• Improves range of motion and decreases discomfort associated with lower back pain.

• Relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles.

• Reduces muscle spasms and cramping.

• Increases joint flexibility.

• Reduces recovery time for strenuous workouts and eliminates subsequent risk of muscle strain.

• Relieves pain for migraine sufferers and may decrease the need for medication.

• Reduces post-operative adhesions and edema, as well as reduces and realigns scar tissue after healing has occurred.

• Contributes to shorter labor, reduces the need for medication and aides in quicker recovery in pregnant women
