About Us

Massage Therapy is:

“the assessment of the soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissue and joints by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function, or relieve pain.”

Massage Therapy treatment has a therapeutic effect on the body, general health and overall well-being. Massage Therapy may be used to maintain and improve physical health and can also ease the effects of physical pain.

A recent consumer study sponsored by AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) indicates that 88 percent of individuals view massage therapy as beneficial to overall health and wellness, from relieving pain to managing cancer symptoms and reducing depression. You can explore the many health advantages of massage therapy beyond simple muscle relaxation!.
