Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:
- Decreased anxiety.
- Enhanced sleep quality.
- Greater energy.
- Improved concentration.
- Increased circulation.
- Reduced fatigue.
Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:
- Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
- Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
- Ease medication dependence.
- Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
- Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
- Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
- Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
- Increase joint flexibility.
- Lessen depression and anxiety.
- Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
- Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
- Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
- Reduce spasms and cramping.
- Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
- Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
- Relieve migraine pain.
Craniosacral is a system where gentle hands on approach methods of evaluating and enhancing the functioning physiology of the body are used to benefit the central nervous system, the spinal cord and the brain. Cranial Sacral Release Technique CSRT is a complete intertwining of the brain and spinal cord that can have positive effects on nutrition, hydration, exercise, and trauma. CSRT encourages the flow of cerebral spinal fluid and assists in maintaining it's rhythm which is very distinct from cardio or respiratory rhythms. Working 24/7 our choroid plexus detects pressure in the brain; when it is low, it signals the body to take and synthesize blood to make and create cerebral spinal fluid to increase pressure; decreasing pressure exits through the meninges and cycles 6-8 times every 4 minutes. This work has won a Nobel Prize for force, electromagnetic fields, physiological bodywork and energy work. The release can be profound and not doing it is facilitating it.
