Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is a widely recognized, ancient and healing practice used often as a part of a holistic healthcare routine in which stiffness and pain are released in the body through the gentle and repetitive manipulation of muscles and joints across the back, legs, arms, and scalp.
During massage therapy, a massage artist will use their hands in kneading, tapping, and rubbing patterns across the surface of the skin in an effort to stimulate circulation and relieve points of tension and stress.
The use of physical touch in massage therapy causes the heart rate and breathing to slow down, blood pressure and the production of stress hormones to fall, and raises the level of serotonin in the brain which protects against stress and causes an emotional lift.
Massages are often used alongside more typical healthcare practices, as a complementary and preventative measure. Their benefits include the relief of stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, cancer-related fatigue, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, low back pain, and more.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a noninvasive holistic medical system used to diagnose and help people get well and stay healthy. Your acupuncturist will insert fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints on the body in order to activate the body’s Qi, promoting the body’s natural healing ability. Qi, also known as vital energy, flows throughout the body along specific pathways (meridians), protecting it from pain, illness, and disease. There are fourteen main meridians, each connected to specific organs. Meridians transport Qi to bring nourishment and energy to the cells, organs, glands, tissues, and muscles in the body. When Qi is blocked, the body does not receive the nourishment it requires to function optimally. If Qi is blocked excessively, or for a prolonged period of time, illness, pain, or disease can set in. The health of a person is determined by the quantity, quality, and balance of Qi. Acupuncture enhances your body’s immunity, emotional well being, ability to recuperate, and can improve overall function and well-being.
