Benefits of Massage

Massage therapy is more than just a luxury; it’s a powerful tool for enhancing your overall well-being. From reducing stress and anxiety to improving circulation and flexibility, regular massage sessions can help you feel rejuvenated and energized.

The Power of Touch

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

  • Decreased anxiety.
  • Enhanced sleep quality.
  • Greater energy.
  • Improved concentration.
  • Increased circulation.
  • Reduced fatigue.

Your Ally in Health and Recovery

Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:

  • Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
  • Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
  • Ease medication dependence.
  • Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body’s natural defense system.
  • Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
  • Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
  • Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.
  • Increase joint flexibility.
  • Lessen depression and anxiety.
  • Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
  • Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
  • Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
  • Reduce spasms and cramping.
  • Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
  • Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body’s natural painkiller.
  • Relieve migraine pain.

I have been going to see Andy for a deep tissue/medical massage for years. Not only do regular visits help me stay active and feel good, he is also extremely helpful in acute situations, when I overdo things and get hurt. He is knowledgeable, extremely well versed in a wide range of massage techniques, kind, friendly and easy to communicate with. I have recommended Andy to family and friends and they have all become regular clients. I highly recommend him as a massage therapist.

Its been a couple years since I've had the time to get to a massage therapist, but Andy has helped me out with serious neck and shoulder pain on many occasions in the past! I have also referred many of my own clients over to see Andy and the results have been great! Very professional and attentive to what the client needs!

I have gotten massage for years with various therapists. I think Andy is the best I have ever had. He is kind and professional. He takes time to diagnose issues/areas of stress/pain and offers helpful suggestions re: stretches/therapies you can do at home. He is also physically strong, so can get deep into the muscle, if that is your preference. As a guy who works out, I like a deep massage and have have had more than a few therapists who simply could not apply sufficient pressure.

Andy is awesome! I have worked with him for several years. He is very knowledgeable about the anatomy of the body and how various sports and other repetitive activities (such as playing a musical instrument or computer work, or stress) can impact the body......Through traditional massage and other bodywork techniques such as NRT, Andy has helped me recover. It is apparent to me that Andy truly cares about helping his clients. I highly recommend him!

I have been receiving massages from Andy for many, many years and cannot say enough good things about him. He is sensitive and attentive to any special needs/requests; is skilled in a wide range of massage techniques; maintains a very clean, safe, private space; provides a calm soothing therapeutic environment, and is one of the main reasons I feel as healthy as I do even during this pandemic. Highly recommend.
