[feature_headline type=”left” level=”h3″ looks_like=”h3″ icon=”thumbs-up”]General Massage[/feature_headline][text_output]Massage therapy addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension, which, experts believe, accounts for 80%-90% of disease. Massage has been proven beneficial in treating cancer-related fatigue, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, low back pain, immunity suppression, spinal cord injury, autism, post-operative surgery, age-related disorders, infertility, eating disorders, smoking cessation, and depression, to name just a few.[/text_output][text_output]Massage has many physiological effects, such as:

• Increased circulation to all areas of the body. This means that more oxygen goes to the tissues, enabling them to function more efficiently.
• Removal of toxins and waste products that build up in the tissues.
• Reduction in recovery time from certain injuries.
• Softening of the connective tissue that permeates the body, resulting in more relaxed muscles and more efficient organ function.
• Breaking of the pain-tension cycle, which helps prevent muscle strains and aches.
• Increased flexibility and joint mobility.
• Better muscular balance throughout the body, resulting in effective support for other healing modalities, such as chiropractic manipulation.
• Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body’s natural defense system.
• Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.

[text_output]John Barnes’ approach to Myfascial Release (MFR) is a highly effective hands-on technique focusing on releasing fascia (connective tissue) restriction all over the body. The practitioner provides sustained pressure on the restricted areas in order to eliminate pain and regain motion.

Fascia is a connective tissue that connects each cell in the body without interruption. It interlaces muscles, bones, organs, veins and nerves. In healthy state, fascia is relaxed and stretchy.

Due to trauma, surgery, inflammation, poor posture or repetitive motion cause tightness in fascia. This can cause pressure on nerves, resulting in pain. MFR relieves this pressure and opens up the body to allow the natural movement.[/text_output]
