Structural Massage

Massage can help

  • Decrease everyday pain from both chronic issues and injuries
  • Reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches
  • Increase concentration
  • Correct posture
  • Improve energy and alertness
  • Promote and improve flexibility
  • Decrease recovery time from injury and workouts

Decrease pain

  • Massage can help decrease pain caused by excess muscle tension, poor posture and injury

Restore range of motion

  • Massage can help to restore previous lost range of motion due to poor posture or adhesions from scar tissue

Reduce headaches

  • Increases in local and systemic circulation as well as corrections in alignment and decreases in muscle tension can help decrease headaches and migraines.

Increase concentration

  • Concentration increases as a result of reduced anxiety and increases in local and systemic circulation which result in more oxygenated blood reaching the brain.

Correct posture

  • Balancing the tensional forces in the body as well as resolving any fascial restrictions will help to bring clients to a more neutral, less injury prone posture.

Improve energy and alertness

  • Through increasing postural balance and decreasing muscle tension, the body has to work less hard. This causes an increase in energy for the whole body and the brain.

Relieve symptoms of stress and anxiety

  • Massage has been shown to decrease cortisol levels in the body (the stress hormone) this decreases the symptoms of stress and anxiety.

Improve blood circulation

  • Manual movement of blood and lymph and well as reduction of tension result in an increased circulation.

Lower heart rate and blood pressure

  • Increased circulation and lower cortisol levels produce a lower heart rate and blood pressure

Promote and improve flexibility

  • By decreasing any adhesions between muscle groups each muscle is given an increased degree of movement freedom, thus increasing flexibility becomes much easier.

Decrease recovery time from injury and workouts

  • Through increasing circulation massage can help reduce inflammation and help clear out toxins in post workout or injured muscles. In addition massage can break up painful and restricting scar tissue in injured structures.
