Massage therapy is a manipulation of muscles, ligaments, tendons, skin, fascia, and joints in the body. The practice of using touch as a healing method derives from ancient history. 

The benefits of massage are extensive. Not only can it help alleviate pain and aid in physical maladies and day-to-day functioning, it also impacts mental and emotional well being. Relaxation, awareness, anxiety, and depression can all be aided and eased with massage therapy.


Massage boosts the immune system, relaxes and reduces anxiety, alleviates pain, reduces blood pressure and heart rate, stimulates lesser used muscles, increases endorphins, aids physical rehabilitation, and improves circulation (blood and lymph).

Massage therapists are required to pass standardized tests in order to receive a license and become a registered massage therapist. Training is often completed at a trade, vocational, or career college and is usually completed in 2 years or less depending on the school and the program.

Massage is private and safe. Depending on the type of massage you receive, partial body, full body, 30 minute or longer, you may have to undress completely or not at all. The room should be warm and comfortable and there may be light music playing. If the environment makes you uneasy, do not hesitate to inform your therapist; a massage should be a relaxing and pleasant experience. This is true if you feel pain during any part of your massage experience. Some techniques are more intensive and may be a bit uncomfortable at times, but if you feel anything that makes you uneasy, do not hesitate to speak up.
