WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR MASSAGE THERAPY SESSION
Bodywork is always customized to the individual based on specific recovery requirements and general wellbeing. These sessions are recommended for a thorough, full body tune up. Specific injuries can also be addressed in these sessions.
Massage therapy allows the body to achieve deep states of relaxation. This stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for classic 'rest & digest' operations; repair, rebuild, recover. Increased circulation brings nutrient rich blood to damaged muscle and connective tissues. Also, increased lymphatic drainage promotes the removal of metabolic waste which can reduce muscle soreness.
Typically I recommend deep tissue sessions to active individuals who want to maintain optimal performance, recover from specific injuries, and stay healthy between strenuous efforts. Before and after competitions, between workouts, or 'as needed' sessions. Regular maintenance contributes to enhanced functionality and quality of life.
