Massage Therapy Benefits and Better Health! Massage gives you a roadmap of stress areas
in your body. Most clients are surprised at how much stress they're carrying until they have a massage. As
the massage therapist stretches and loosens muscles and connective tissues, stress and muscular tension are released. Once
you have an awareness of where stress lodges in your body, you can begin to do something about it. You start to educate
yourself and your body, and you reverse a negative cycle. Neuromuscular Massage, often prescribed for
injuries and conditions of pain, works at softening the muscles so that the therapist can move in more deeply to break up
adhesions. This allows muscles to become really elastic, the way they should be. The body then may be freed of spasm and pain,
increase its range of motion, and have the ability to avoid injury. (see the benefits of massage page for additional
information)
