WHY MASSAGE & MOVEMENT TRAINING? Our “convenient” modern lifestyle has resulted in a country full of Americans trying to cope with body “dis-ease” resulting from stress, including digestive problems, muscle tension and pain, headaches, joint pain, sleep disturbances, fatigue, chest pain, high blood pressure, asthma, shortness of breath, and weight problems. Research proves that massage and exercise are essential to combating the effects of stress. • According to the American Massage Therapy Association, massage has been shown to reduce blood pressure and heart rate; increase immune response; increase lymph flow and reduce edema; relieve and reduce certain types of back pain; reduce anxiety; and, relieve stress! • The Mayo Clinic confirms that exercise improves mood; combats chronic diseases like heart diseases, type II diabetes, and osteoporosis; manages weight; boosts energy; and improves sleep. Balancing your body’s alignment and teaching it to function from an optimal posture can reduce and eliminate those symptoms of stress naturally. At BodyWorks "Massage & Movement", we integrate orthopedic assessments, hydrotherapy, various massage techniques, active isolated stretching (AIS), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and corrective stretching/exercise instruction to get positive results.
