Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissue, (muscle and fascia) in order to decrease muscular tension, improve blood circulation and lymph flow, increase range of motion and release endorphins.
Regular massage treatment can have the following positive impacts on your health:

• Massage therapy leads to the reduction of chronic muscular pain and the increase of joint flexibility. This makes it great for older patrons or those who participate in sport
  
• Massage therapy can speed recovery from various injuries
• Massage therapy assists in increasing circulation, as part of a health care plan
  
• Massage has been proven to reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being

Here are a few ways that you can prepare for your massage, and get the most out of your treatment:

• Ensure that your last meal is properly digested. Do not eat right before your massage.
  
• Arrive on time, to allow your body and mind time to relax before laying down on the table.
  
• Your modesty and privacy is respected at all time, remove only as much clothing as you like. Your body will be covered entirely by a sheet, and only the area being worked on will be exposed.
  
• Communicate with your massage therapist. Please provide accurate health information, any allergies, and other preferences that may be relevant for optimal treatment.
  
• Relax your muscles and quiet your mind. Your treatment will be most effective if your muscles are not tightened and you are mentally at ease.
  
• Ensure to drink at least 500 mL of water after your massage to help flush toxins out of your body.
  
• Come often. The benefits of massage therapy take place over time, the more often you receive massage, the quicker your body can respond and the relaxation deepens.
