Benefits
Releases chronic and acute muscle pain. Using slow, deep strokes and pressure points, it targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue and helps release tension and reduce inflammation which leads to more flexibility and range of motion of the joints.
Improves posture. Deep tissue massage stretches and loosens tight muscles, improves circulation and reduces stress and tension which can lead to better posture, balance and body coordination.
Reduces stress and anxiety. Stress causes cortisol levels in the body to rise which causes exhaustion, irritability, headaches, digestive issues, anxiety or depression. By helping the body relax we can improve sleep, mood, energy levels and our overall well-being. It calms the body and mind.
Reduces headaches. Tension headaches are debilitating and cause a lot of discomfort and stress. Working on the tensions surrounding the head, neck and shoulders which are most commonly associated with headaches, we are able to relieve this tension.
