How does massage work?                                                                                               

When a practitioner massages soft tissue, electrical signals are transmitted both to the local area and throughout the body.  These signals help heal damaged muscle, stimulate circulation, clear waste products via the lymphatic system, reduce pain and tension and induce a calming effect.  Massages may also enhance a general sense of well-being by stimulating the release of endorphins (natural painkillers and mood elevators) and reducing levels of certain stress hormones.
