• Relieve muscle tension
• Stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles
• Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays

There’s no denying the power of massage therapy. Regardless of the adjectives we assign it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your health-care regimen. Many hospitals and health-care organizations have begun recommending and offering massage as an adjunct treatment for many conditions.

 Getting a massage can do you a world of good. And the benefits of massage increase more with frequency. This is the beauty of bodywork. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you’ll be and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year.  And remember: just because massage feels like a pampering treat doesn’t mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, and work with your practitioner to establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.
