Who may benefit from massage?
Every body can benefit from the healing properties that massage therapy elicits. Massage therapy involves the application of various techniques of hands on body work that manipulates the soft tissue which effects a change in the surrounding tissue and structures in the body. This process stimulates the body's natural ability to heal itself.

Who may not benefit from massage?
Any body who has a contraindication for massage or a person who does not want to be touched may not always benefit from the healing effects of massage.
A contraindication to massage is a condition that could be worsened by massage or a condition that could be harmful to both the massage therapist and the person receiving the massage. Things like athletes foot for instance could spread and is also contagious; therefore it would be considered a local contraindication for massage. A local contraindication is when we avoid massage to a specific area, and are able to massage the rest of the body.
When someone has a systemic condition or has had very recent major surgery that would contraindicate the massage until it is safe. Every body is different and each case is considered individually. If there is any reason for concern it is always best to check with your physician prior to booking a massage. All of our massage therapist has been trained to identify different pathologies that pertain to massage. We are here to enhance good health and overall well being, not to hinder. We welcome questions and are willing to help find answers if we cannot provide them.

Touch is the most powerful and intimate form of communication.  Without touch we would be unreachable.  In fact if there was no touch there would be no humans.  Not to mention that without touch we seem to deteriorate as a species.  Studies have proven  that babies who are deprived of consistent nurturing touch could actually die or end up severly lacking in mental and emotional stability. Touch can do as much harm as it can do good depending on the intention behind it.  When touch is intended to hurt it can destroy, when intended to help it can create. Through touch we can communicate feelings and emotions that words can only begin to describe.
Message therapy is one of the most healthful forms of touch.  When we recieve a massage from a qualified massage therapist every system of our body benefits from its effects. The systems of the body that benefit are: integumentary system, circulatory system, musculoskeletal system, lymphatic system, digestive system, nervous system and endocrine system.
