Many people think of massage as a luxury. In hard economic times some will choose to spend on other things, while tolerating their stiffness and pains. However, massage is much more than simple relaxation.

Massage is believed to be one of the oldest forms of medical care, dating back to the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Its vital role in health care was universal. In 2700 BC, a Chinese book of internal medicine recommended "the massage of skin and flesh". More than two thousand years later, Hippocrates - the father of modern medicine wrote "the physician must be acquainted with many things and assuredly with rubbing".

Body work is a general term for manual techniques that involve touch, movements, and stretching. These are used to promote health and healing. Massage is described today as the manipulation of soft tissue, muscles, skin, and acupressure points - using fingertips, hands, elbows, forearms... some use feet and fists.

The benefits of massage are endless. Here are a few of the effects: Decreased pain, reduced muscle soreness, improving range of motion, relieving migraine pain, boosting immune systems, relieving back pain, promoting tissue regeneration, reducing anxiety and stress, decreasing carpal tunnel or tennis elbow symptoms, easing labor pain and stress, treating cancer-related fatigue and numerous other benefits.

A quarter of all American adults have received at least one massage in the past twelve months. This number continues to grow as more and more people discover the benefits of massage, both for relaxation, rehabilitation and rejuvenation. Massage generates good health. Feeling good puts that smile on your face.

Although no two massages are alike, there are some things that are universal. Sessions generally take place in a quiet, comfortable room, with music, and low lighting. Aromatherapy oils are in the air. You will be asked questions about your health, injuries or medical condition. You will fill out paperwork with your answers, including personal identifying information as your birth date, phone number and address.
