BODY MASSAGES

Massage
from the Greek word "Massein" - to knead or the Arabic "Mas’h" - to press softly.
 Massage can be a relaxing or invigorating treatment depending on the choice or combination of massage movements. It involves the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body.  It produces effects on the vascular, muscular and nervous systems making it suitable for a number of conditions. Massage can be a full body treatment or can be focused on specific areas..

Massage
A BODY MIND & SOUL massage will leave you refreshed, relaxed and renewed.
The basic premise of massage therapy is that it stimulates the muscle tissue & creates blood flow through key areas of the body.

Proper blood flow will help the muscles regenerate.  We all experience the benefits of massage therapy everyday. When you stub your toe, the quickest and best treatment is to rub it & stretch it to increase the blood flow.  We know instinctively that it will make it feel better.  The same principle applies to the entire body.  Massage therapy is of great value because professionals use certain strokes and techniques to relieve the pain and stress that we all experience. 

Massage therapy will benefit everyone from the professional athlete to the casual exerciser.  There are a number of different techniques that have unique and distinct benefits.

Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy and is a system of stroking, pressing and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the body.Massage does much more than create a pleasant sensation on the skin, it also works on the soft tissues(the muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone.Although it largely affects those muscles just under the skin, its benefits may also reach the deeper layers of muscle and possibly even the organs themselves. Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system), improving the elimination of waste throughout the body.
