THERAPY
MASSAGE is a touch
therapy that is not only a wonderfully pleasurable and relaxing
experience, but also brings countless
health benefits. It is an elixir to the soul
when massage is utilized as a frequent
therapy. The more you get, the more it
does! Massage therapy can be a
powerful ally in your health care program. Experts
estimate that 90 percent of disease is
stress-related. In studies conducted from
2003-2006, massage was found to have a
powerful effect on:
* anxiety & depression
* high blood pressure
* arthritis * heart disease
* back pain
* ulcers
* headaches
* eyestrain
* sports injuries
* neck pain
* fibromyalgia
* stress
One of the most powerful benefits
derived from massage therapy is its innate ability to
induce a deep state of relaxation.
You become aware of tension as it builds and this
allows you to consciously release it
before it can have a negative effect on your body.
Psychological Benefits of Massage:
* reduces mental stress and promotes better sleep
* induces mental relaxation
* fosters peace of mind
* decreases anxiety

CANINE MASSAGE
WHY GIVE YOUR DOG (OR ANY ANIMAL!) A MASSAGE? Dogs have become our
best friends, companions, helpers and children. They come to us
with open hearts and
look to us for their care and in return love us unconditionally for as
long as they live.
Our pets can have medical issues, emotional problems, situation
difficulties and ageing
complications. Sometimes its just nice to give your precious
companion the gift of
special touch. Through massage, we are able to give back to our
loving pets comfort
and a lessening of their physical and/or emotional upsets.
A professional massage by a massage therapist can provide many benefits
beyond
just the obvious calming effect the massage produces. You, as the
owner, can now
learn a simple massage procedure that you can share with your pet at any
time,
scheduling the bonding session between the two of you when the time is
convenient
for both owner and pet. Contact us about our schedule for CANINE
