"In this railway age, the wear and tear of labor and intellect go on without
 pause or self-pity. We live longer than our forefathers; but we suffer more from
 a thousand artificial anxieties and cares. They fatigued only the muscles, we exhaust
 the finer strength of the nerves."    
                      –Edward George Bulwer-Lytton (English Novelist, 1803-1873)

Massage benefits your skin.   The stimulating action of massage causes nutrient-rich blood to flood
the capillaries, leaving your skin with a healthy glow. Massage also improves skin tone and elasticity,
which is especially beneficial for older skin or skin that has become loose or flabby due to weight loss.

Massage benefits your nerves.   It has been known for centuries that massage relieves restlessness, insomnia, and pain, while promoting an overall sense of wellbeing. As stress melts away, so do its causes,
in the form of anger, nervousness, irritability, and depression. 

Massage benefits your muscles.   For tight muscles nothing is more soothing than massage. Today,
as more and more people are realizing the effects of stress on their bodies, doctors are recommending weekly massage therapy for on-going relief of tension and stress, before symptoms escalate into internal problems, such as ulcers, allergies, insomnia, high blood pressure, or heart disease. Massage also relieves the soreness of overworked muscles and stimulates the contractile tissues of muscles that have been inactive due to illness or immobilization caused by a cast or a sling. Finally, massage after surgery often reduces fibrosis, or scar tissue.

Massage benefits circulation and increases your body’s natural ability to heal.   Massage stimulates increased blood flow to all your organs and tissues, in turn increasing oxygen and nutrient levels in all the cells of your body. This strengthens the heart and helps your body maintain its functions, repair itself, and heal faster.

Massage aids the body to eliminate waste products.   Massage flushes the body of metabolic waste, which can build up in people with more sedentary lifestyles. By drinking more water on the day of your massage and again on the day after it, you can assure that the metabolic wastes stirred up naturally during your treatment are eliminated from your body, leaving you with a feeling of vitality, increased energy, and a marked improvement in your physiological and psychological wellbeing.
