Massage Therapy

What It Is

Massage therapy is the skilled use of hands-on techniques to release tension, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes. It’s both therapeutic and restorative, addressing everything from sore muscles to stress to overall well-being.

 

What It Does (Science + Evidence)

Massage increases blood flow, supports lymphatic circulation, reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system — the “rest and digest” state where the body repairs itself. Research shows massage can reduce pain, improve mobility, ease anxiety, and support recovery from injuries.
