Where will my massage or bodywork session take place?
Your massage or bodywork session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort.
Will I be covered during the session?
You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.
Why do you feel great after a massage?
One theory suggests massage releases toxins. It’s a feasible idea. But researchers no longer believe that toxin-release comes into play.
In a new study, researchers asked subjects to cycle until they were exhausted. Each subject then received a leg massage. But for only one leg. Ten minutes after the massage, researchers took muscle tissue samples from each leg.
Protein levels provided evidence that two things were happening…
1) The massage reduced inflammation
2) Additional energy was generated for muscle healing
This finding fits neatly with a 2007 study. In that trial, massage relieved muscle pain by as much as 50 percent.
The “hands-on” approach is a proven winner.
