Therapeutic

The effects of massage are many. While one effect is to relax the muscles, massage also sets the blood into circulation, disperses toxins which have accumulated, stimulates nerve activity, increases lung activity, quiets and soothes the nervous system, breaks up deposits in the joints etc. Not only is blood flow aided by massage, but the lymphatic circulation is encouraged. Proper nutrition to the tissue on a cell level is restored.

Therapeutic massage is a case by case form of treatment. I have had great success treating conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Parkinsons Disease, Multiple Sclerosis as well as many forms of Palsy and muscle entrapment conditions. Lymphedema and Lupus are still challenges where I have experienced limited success.
