Massage Benefits

... even the word soothes the ear! Once thought a luxury only for the rich and famous, massage is now known to be a valuable wellness tool. Please consider all the "wrecks" your structure has had and ask, "when was my last tune-up?"

Every cell in your body is nourished, repaired and cleansed by three important rivers of life - nerve communication from the brain, blood circulation carrying nutrients to the tissue, and lymphatic drainage taking waste material away from the tissues. If any "river" is compromised, hindered or interrupted, dis-ease may begin. Properly applied massage strokes relax muscle tension and relieve pressure on nerves and tiny blood vessels which improves overall circulation and communication. Regular massage helps structures operate at peak efficiency, enhancing many body systems. Stay in alignment! Because your body was created to be"the temple of the living God!"

Each session combines classic Indo-European relaxation massage with corrective Myo-Skeletal deep tissue techniques and stretching to improve circulation, stimulate muscle fiber and reduce pain. Organic oils or Badger Balm are used to nourish skin and herbal applications soothe nerves and reduce pain. Pure essential oils with pleasing aromas have been shown to reduce stress, boost immunity, relieve pain and enhance your overall experience. Invigorating salt massage increases skin circulation, adds magnesium to detoxify tissues and makes the skin silky smooth. You choose the session that meets your needs from head to foot. With specific issues, we can assist you in designing a program to increase your well-being. Due to photosynthesizing effects of essential oils, do not use a tanning bed for 48 hours following a massage. If you plan on tanning, tell us at the beginning of your massage and no essential oils will be used.
