What does massage do? The therapeutic values of massage:

It used to be a common thought that massage was purely a form of pampering, and didn't have therapeutic value.  However, more and more doctors are sending their patients to a massage therapist to aid in recovery or overall well-being.  It's now known that massages from professionally trained therapists can:

• Reduce soreness, stiffness or muscle spasms

• Manage or relieve stress (and associated insomnia)

• Assist in injury rehabilitation and recovery

• Help maintain wellness or fitness

• Relieve headaches

• Lower blood pressure and heart rate
