_Massage is no longer a luxury in today's world, but a necessity.  Many illnesses are rooted in stress, whether as a direct cause or a contributing factor.  Most people think of stress as something unpleasant, like a death in the family or an abrasive work environment.  However, stress can come from positive events, like a wedding, a new child, or a new job.  Stress can also be physical in nature:  repetitive motion, illness or injury, chronic pain, too little or too much exercise can all place strain on the body.

In short, stress is an everyday part of life.

Massage can help by not only assisting in resolving injury or illness, but prevent it from happening.  Touch aids by interrupting the body’s stress response cycle and is one of the most essential elements for human health and happiness.  Regular bodywork can keep your system fit and flexible, more readily able to adapt to life’s curveballs.
