INTEGRATIVE MASSAGE THERAPY(IMT)
Muscle pain, involving musculoskeletal dysfunction is the most common cause of disability in the industrialized world today. It accounts for roughly a quarter of all visits to primary care physicians. Most medical healthcare professionals will admit that a significant number of muscular dysfunctions and soft tissues injuries are poorly and inadequately managed, leading to only marginal improvement with conventional treatment. Often times these interventions involve drugs or surgery.
Providing effective treatment for muscle pain requires an understanding of normal musculoskeletal structure and function, including the body's innate ability to repair and self-regulate. The role of a skilled and knowledgeable massage therapist can be that of a facilitator or "helper" in this process; exclusively, or as part of a healthcare team. The intention is to promote optimum function as opposed to simply reducing symptoms.
Just Relax...
Scientific evidence confirms what we've known all along. Receiving regular massages promotes good health by providing many benefits. Massage Therapy enhances immune function, increases circulation, reduces stress-related biochemicals in the bloodstream, encourages homeostasis, enhances mood, and supports the lymphatics, just to name a few. Not to mention, a relaxing massage just feels incredible. The experience can be enhanced with hot stone therapy, wave mobilization, meridian, myofascial, and other stress-reduction techniques. The end result can be less pain, more mobility, increased energy, and an improvement in one's overall outlook. Try it.
