What are the uses of Therapeutic Massage & Trager Bodywork?

• Relaxation: Massage relaxes the body physically reducing tension, spasms and muscle contraction and the mind is relaxed emotionally as well.
• Injuries: Massage & Bodywork speeds up the healing process by improving blood & lymph circulation to the injured areas. Therapeutic salves applied to affected areas speed Structural Alignment while tense muscles can pull the alignment out of balance, massage improves the ability of the body to stay in a relaxed and balanced state. Massaging and relaxing tense and spasmed muscles allows the body to freely retain its optimally balanced state.
• Pain-Relief: Many forms of therapy reduce swelling, spasms and stiffness, increase circulation and speed the healing and recovery time.
• Circulation: Massage and Bodywork increases blood supply and nutrition to the muscles, tissues, cells and organs, while aiding the lymphatic system in cleansing and moving waste and toxins out of the body.
• Stress Management: When we are stressed the fight or flight response is initiated and the heart rate, blood pressure and muscle tension increases, there is an increase in hormones produced, circulation patterns change and immune and digestive systems shut down. Massage restores balance by promoting relaxation which aids in restoring circulation, hormonal, homeostatic (balancing) patterns and balance in the body and mind.
