Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress by helping the body:

• Decrease anxiety.
• Enhance sleep quality.
• Adds greater energy.
• Improve concentration.
• Increase circulation.
• Reduce fatigue.

Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:

• Alleviate and improve range of motion. Alleviate low-back pain.
• Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
• Ease medication dependence.
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
• Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
• Increase joint flexibility.
• Lessen depression and anxiety.
• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
• Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
• Reduce spasms and cramping.
• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
• Relieve migraine pain.

Far infrared rays penetrate six to eight inches into the human body benefiting surface skin and muscle tissue and into deeper tissues promoting the relaxation of muscles with temporary increase of local circulation and temporary relief of minor joint and back pain and strains and muscle spasms.
