Benefits of Massage...

Everyone can benefit from massage in one or more ways. Massage helps you to relax and relieves stress. It improves circulation, promotes detoxification of the body and helps to restore balance to to your body. Massage helps ease the pain and symptoms of many auto immune diseases such as fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis as well as osteoarthritis, migraine headaches, and chronic pain from back and neck injury.

Massage confuses the body's pain signals

Rubbing may interfere with pain signals' pathways to your brain, a process called the "gate control theory," according to experts. Pain impulses run toward the spinal cord and then up the cord and into the brain. It's only when they reach the brain that these impulses, are perceived as pain. When you rub, it sends other impulses along the same nerves. When all these impulses try to reach the brain through nerves, the nerves get clogged like a highway during morning rush hour. The result? Most of them won't reach the brain. And if the pain signals does not reach the brain, you won't feel pain. Thus massage works by 'closing the gate' that pain impulses have to pass through.
