Sports Massage
Massage therapy has become an integral part of the athletic regime. Massage therapy can add that extra edge to high performance athletes. But you don’t have to be a professional athlete to benefit from massage therapy. Whether you are active on a regular basis or are a weekend warrior, you will benefit with regular massage therapy treatments. Sports massage can be performed before, during, or after an event. It focuses on preparing the muscle tissue, relieving fatigue, and eliminating toxins that build up in muscles after prolonged use. It also relieves muscle tension and joint pain, which can lead to injury, and decrease recovery times after major workouts.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy is a time of both physical and emotional change for a woman’s body. Massage therapy can improve overall prenatal health, and should be considered an important option to consider along with regular prenatal care. Research has shown that pregnancy massage can be an integral part of prenatal care, and is a safe and effective way to assist in facilitating positive experience of pregnancy.
Massage therapy can help relieve many of the discomforts experienced all through pregnancy. In addition to increasing relaxation and improving circulation, therapeutic massage addresses typical aches and pains associated with pregnancy. Massage Therapy helps to reduce muscle cramps, relieve muscle tension, increase joint mobility, reduce fluid retention, and relieve headaches.
