Massage therapy

Massage therapy is an effective treatment for reducing chronic and acute physical pain and can help you recover faster from injury as well as reduce the need for pain medication. Massage has been shown to improve immune function as well as reducing stress. Stress is the silent killer and is at the root of many diseases and health challenges. Massage helps by reducing cortisol and epinephrine, the stress hormones and by raising the feel-good hormones dopamine and serotonin.
