Emotional, mental and physical tension is stored in the muscle tissue, and skilled massage applied to the soft tissue encourages the muscular and nervous systems to relax, helping release stress and tension. The muscular, nervous, skeletal and circulatory systems are assisted to work harmoniously, which also acts as a preventative / maintenance to wellness. Massage therapy is both safe and efficient when carried out by a trained, certified practitioner who, with the cooperation of the client, helps to create balance and harmony from within.
