Why Massage? It's good for you, both mentally and physically. It's convenient, cost effective, and the results are immediate. Relief from headaches, backaches, eyestrain, sore shoulders and neck pain. Relief from repetitive use injuries such as tendonitis or carpal tunnel. Helps with poor concentration, reduces anxiety, depression, irritability, or anger. Alleviates physical tiredness and emotional exhaustion, "Burn Out". Reduces muscle tension and the pain it causes. Calms the nervous system, increases circulation, boosting energy and alertness. Why Time Out? I specialize in deep tissue and neuromuscular release, as well as trigger point therapy, and treatment for skeletal muscle conditions. Trigger Point Over time, areas with poor circulation form knots in both muscles and their connective tissue coverings, called fascia. Trigger points are highly irritable spots that refer pain, tingling or other sensations elsewhere in the body, usually in a predictable pattern. As muscles tense and tighten, surrounding muscles start to develop trigger points, and the pain cycle spreads. Muscle Shorting In any area with chronically poor circulation, the body eventually lays down collagen fibers, "scar tissue". Restricted Movement Irritating waste products, painful trigger points and shortened muscles make even simple actions difficult and tiring. As your capacity for movement and exercise decrease, you lose the most important means for maintaining good circulation throughout your body; risking pain in new areas as well as postural problems.
