Massage Therapy

Massage is a Healing Art

We like to educate our patients that massage is not a luxury, it is essential to healthy body function.  Massage is a centuries old healing art that involves the human touch, which has all but become extinct in our modern medical culture. In fact, many studies have demonstrated the value of human touch with reference to growth and development.

How are a pond, play dough and the human body alike?

Have you ever noticed water in a pond that hasn’t moved for a while?  It becomes stagnant.  Other debris gets caught in it and slime builds up.  Then it becomes a great environment for other undesirables.

Think of play dough if it sits out for a while.  A hard crust forms on the outside. When it is picked up and kneaded, it becomes soft and pliable again.  The human body is similar to the pond and play dough, it needs to move and be moved. The body will become stagnant if not touched.

Stress is at the Root of Dis-Ease

When stress is encountered, the body will take it on and move it around.  Have you ever felt muscle pain in one area then a few days later it was gone…. then a few days later it showed up somewhere else?  The body is trying to ease the stress until it is released.  If stress is not released it affects the entire operation and can be the underlying cause of chronic problems.

Massage is a health staple. It automatically puts the body in regeneration mode, seeking balance in all systems.
