Has life been stressful? Feeling like your ears are resting on your shoulders due to stress? A relaxing massage can help ease the tension throughout your body. Gentle pressure and flowing movements can break adhesions, improve blood flow and create a healing environment where your body can relax.
Often after an injury, whether traumatic or due to repetitive stresses, the muscles involved can become hypertonic (really tight!) and painful. Massage creates pressure where the knots and adhesions are that help the muscles relax. There is a nervous system response when properly massaging hypertonic tissue that communicates to the body that it is time to recover and heal.
