Massage can support you throughout your recovery from a physical or emotional trauma in a number of ways. Massage can relieve tension, improve your physical health, and give you more energy to face life's challenges. It can comfort and support you emotionally through a time of difficult change. Massage is also a safe place to experience positive touch and to reconnect with your body and your emotions. Touch is a universal need. It is vital to feeling cared for. Research now shows that touch is essential to our physical well-being.

Massage relieves aching muscles and joints, increases your freedom of movement, and helps you achieve a more balanced posture. Releasing tensions around habitual postures can actually reinforce positive feelings. Increased circulation boosts the flow of energy-producing nutrients to your cells and speeds elimination of waste products that can make you feel achy or listless.
