Massage Therapy

More than just a half-hour’s worth of relaxation in a chair, massage therapy offers a number of medical and mental health benefits – it can help reduce stress, relieve chronic and acute pain, lower blood pressure and boost the immune system. Perhaps it’s the holistic approach, with a focus on the entire body rather than only the source of pain. Perhaps it’s the endorphins released by the brain during massage. Or perhaps it’s the emotional support patients receive at the touch of another. Whatever the reason, massage therapy has been proven to alleviate pain associated with back problems, headaches, muscle spasms, heart surgery, and cancer and cancer treatment. Whether it’s a ten-minute in-office chair massage or an hour-long deep-tissue massage for muscle damage, massage therapy can help you manage your pain, stay relaxed and achieve whole-body health.

The number of visits you'll require with our massage therapist can vary widely. If you are using massage for stress relief, you may want to visit our therapist as often as once a week. For acute injuries, the number of treatments will depend on the nature of your condition. Often massage therapy is prescribed by M.D.s to complement conventional care.
