There are tons of benefits of massage therapy. Massage therapy relaxes muscles and improves circulation, reduces stress and tension, improves sleep, boosts your immune system, calms anxiety and depression, improves your posture and balance, releases toxins from the body effectively detoxifying your body, and relieves pain due to arthritis or many other injuries.

During your first appointment, your therapist will take a detailed case history, including overall health status, nature of symptoms, and any treatment that you have previously received. The therapist can then determine if you have any physical condition that would be affected by massage therapy (e.g., high blood pressure). Your current lifestyle is also taken into consideration as nutrition and stress can affect the body’s ability to heal itself. Once your intake is complete the therapist may discuss what you hope to gain from massage therapy.

Your massage therapist will ask your informed consent before proceeding with treatment. Wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing, and keep in mind that massage therapists are trained in draping techniques and only undress the necessary amount to access the areas being worked on. Your personal privacy is always respected by our therapists.
