• Stress
No matter the cause, stress is very hard on your body.  It takes its toll with increase anxiety, sleepless nights, tense muscles which lead to aches and pains including headaches, fatigue, poor concentration, poor circulation, and the list goes on.

If you look at the effects, stress has been proven to be a contributor to disease.  The more stress, the lower our natural immunity. 

Many clients report a greater clarity after a massage.  The emotional relief and better perspective
Furthermore, clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a massage. The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.

• Other Responses
Studies funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found massage beneficial in improving weight gain in HIV-exposed infants and facilitating recovery in patients who underwent abdominal surgery. At the University of Miami School of Medicine's Touch Research Institute, researchers have found that massage is helpful in decreasing blood pressure in people with hypertension, alleviating pain in migraine sufferers and improving alertness and performance in office workers.
An increasing number of research studies show massage reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins (enhancing medical treatment). Massage can hasten and lead to a more complete recovery from exercise or injury.
Massage has been proven time and again to help with diseases such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, burn injuries, high blood pressure, premature babies, etc.  Check out PubMed for clinical studies:  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez

• Who Does it Help?
Touch has been proven to be beneficial in treating diseases, neurological disorders, and injuries.  Our older residents in skilled nursing facilities and retirement homes can benefit greatly physically and emotionally from the simple touch a massage can give.  Pediatric massage is become more popular as a great way to start our future generations out in life with loving touch and emotional stability. 
Massage is for EVERYONE!  Frequent massage can play a huge part in how healthy you can be and how youthful you can look.  Massage should be part of every persons healthy lifestyle plan. 
How can you go wrong with time for ourselves that feels ‘pampering’ and has so many therapeutic benefits!  Talk to your massage therapist to work out a schedule that is best for you.

• Stone Massage
Basalt stones are heated in hot water and placed in different areas of your body by your therapist. Along with oil, more hot stones are also used during your massage to give you a deep relaxing massage. A typical hot stone massage will last between 70-90 minutes. It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat helps tight muscles release.
