Body Work is necessary to our over all well-being. To illustrate how beneficial it is for the whole body, we consider our Healing Stone Massage to be as effective as any medicine.

Massage as Medicine

Yes, a good massage feels, well......delicious.

Believe it or not, there is research that shows how healthy it really is for us too! So much that many hospitals are making massage a part of their standard therapy. Fertility clinics around the globe recommend massage to women attempting to get pregnant. It helps relax their nervous systems, and thus their changes of success are greater. Researchers at the Group Health Centre for Health Studies in Seattle say that massage works really well for relieving aches and pains. Massage reduces the stress hormone cortisol, while boosting our levels of serotonin and dopamine — so we feel good! When cortisol goes down, immune cells go up, so massage actually helps improve our immune systems. This also means less stress, less anxiety and less depression.

In addition, massage increases blood flow to the muscles, to enable quicker healing. Massage can even help the pain caused by “stress” migraine headaches. A study at the Touch Research Institute showed that massage increases delta waves, making it easier for us to relax and fall asleep. They also found that massage helps to stimulate brain-wave activity, resulting in improved attention.
