Welcome to BodyMends!

Haven't we all, at one point in time, found ourselves holding onto a sore area or trying to reach and rub a stiff muscle? We instinctively use touch to mend our aches and soothe our pain. Massage therapy is a natural way of improving and maintaining our health and well-being.

What is massage therapy? Simply defined, it is a hands-on treatment of manipulating the soft tissues of the body with traditional Swedish techniques for therapeutic gain.

With Swedish massage, the basic strokes of kneading, wringing, squeezing, friction, tapping, and skin rolling are used. Also the use of heat or cold (hydro) therapy may be used to enhance the effectiveness of a massage.

Massage therapy improves circulation, which can help reduce swelling from injury and enhance the function of the lymphatic system. The increased circulation helps flush toxins from tired muscles and alleviates aches and pains. Massage helps break up adhesions from scar tissue, which improves range of motion and flexibility. It also improves a variety of complaints such as stress, headaches, tendonitis, stiff joints, sciatica, sprains and strains, and overworked muscles.

Massage is a great way to maintain good health and help prevent injury from repetitive muscle use. The overall sense of well-being during and after a massage is a wonderful feeling that I encourage everyone to experience.
