The Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue, stress, promote faster healing of injured muscle tissue, improve posture, promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being. Massage provides relief to people from all walks of life; from the competitive athlete to the overstressed executive.

Swedish massage, the most common form of body work, is used predominantly to relax the muscles and help ease aches and pains. Deep Tissue, on the other hand, goes to the edge of pain to spread the muscle fibers apart as well as unlock fascial tissue for a maximum healing effect. Therapeutic massage, similar to deep tissue, can decrease muscle tension, restore normal, pain-free range of motion, and increase the effectiveness of chiropractic manipulations.

Many massages can be too light or too deep! A happy medium allows for proper healing in a relaxing environment. Communication is the key to ensuring your massage is exactly what you want. The practitioners at Balance custom design each session to your specific needs, be it total relaxation or to restore an area of dysfunction.
