The definition of massage is "The rubbing and kneading of body muscles and joints with the hands, especially to relieve tension or pain" is one definition of massage. Massage, in my opinion, is much more than that! From my perspective, receiving a massage helps to unwind the mind in addition to the body's muscles. 

We can all agree that it can be difficult to unwind occasionally. Stress levels can rise due to work or personal obligations, making it more difficult to unwind! It may affect your body in a physical way. It can cause your shoulders to get quite stiff, which can lead to tension headaches and disrupt your sleep, which is a battle in and of itself. 

One of the best treatments you can provide your body to lessen these issues in these circumstances is a massage. Releasing the tension in your muscles will help you sleep better at night and lessen headaches caused by your muscles pulling down on your head.

​

It can be less invasive to reach the goals you, the client, wish to achieve from the therapy you need when multiple massage techniques are used to target different muscles in order to either reduce muscle tension or break down adhesions from previous injuries or surgeries.
