What does a massage do for the body?
Registered Massage Therapists have a great deal of training in the soft tissues of the body so we can work with the muscles, joints and fascial structures of the body to reduce or eliminate pain and rehabilitate the body from injuries. By eliminating soft tissue restrictions, massage therapy can help people achieve a greater range of motion or proper body alignment / posture.
Massage therapists work with the muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments of the body to return the proper tone and function. This can release nerves and deeper connective tissues which may be the source of discomfort or pain we experience.
