Mind-Body Relaxation… is a term emphasizing the connection between the “Body”—and its influence on the “Mind”. In simple terms… what the Body experiences—the Mind becomes!
Clinical studies have shown that as the body becomes relaxed… so goes the mind—in perfect harmony! The long-term effects of Mind-Body Relaxation are clear… studies published in the American Journal of Cardiology, British Medical and American Heart Association Journals note reductions in heart disease, high blood pressure, heart attacks and hardening of the arteries. Countless other independent studies show that Mind-Body Relaxation reduces depression, anxiety, panic attacks, chronic pain and symptoms of fibromyalgia. Other studies indicate that Mind-Body Relaxation can be effective in the treatment and prevention of substance abuse and addiction. Which massage you choose... is of lesser importance than just making massage a part of your health routine—it can lead to a healthier body and increased vitality!
As children … we ran, jumped, exercised and pushed our endurance to its limits... our bodies were fleshy, flexible and supple—in perfect harmony. As adults we ceased most strenuous activities… muscles go unused… retain toxins, become less fleshy, flexible and supple… causing discomfort and pain—no longer in harmony. If you think of your body as the vehicle which must propel you throughout each day—its maintenance is important!
The following is a simple illustration which each of us can relate to…
A car which is maintained routinely… i.e. oil and filter changes, spark plug changes, air cleaner changes, drive train servicing, tires rotated, aligned and balanced, lubrication of moving parts, all contribute to its overall operational reliability and safety—assuring minimal repairs and roadside breakdowns and will demonstrate increased gas mileage and driving pleasure.
From this simple illustration... one can reason that routine maintenance can play a significant role in the reliability of the vehicles we depend on to transport us!
In virtually the same way, the routine maintenance of your body... heart, digestive system, musculature, nervous system, skeletal system and joints—will supply you with the increased energy and stamina needed to propel you throughout your rigorous day. Equally important is … making the right choice about who will perform the maintenance you desire—as not everyone is experienced and/or capable of providing superior body work!
Here are some of the benefits that regularly scheduled massage therapy can offer...

A reminder... massage therapy should never be used as a substitute for regular medical care or diagnostic purpose. If you are under a doctor's care, you should follow the medical plan and treatment which has been prescribed for you.
