WHY GET A MASSAGE?
« General relaxation and stress relief «
« Revitalization «
« Relieve sore and tight muscles «
« Relieve tension headaches «
« Recovery from sports activity «
« Improve circulation «
« Reduce blood pressure«

Things to be aware of:

Drink extra water before and after the massage session
Increase your intake for two days after a massage to help eliminate waste products released by the massage
Expect muscle soreness depending on the type of work done and typically after the very first massage you receive
The more massages you receive, the less likely you will be to experience post-massage soreness

Note: If you have had massages from different therapists, each has a different depth and style of massage. It is in your best interest to give feedback to the therapist during the massage. Many people long accustomed to massage may require deeper work, which again should be discussed with the therapist.

Massage
Massage is the systematic manual or mechanical manipulation of soft tissue of the body by using such movements as gliding, kneading, pressing, rolling, and tapping for therapeutic purposes such as promoting blood circulation, muscle relaxation, pain relief, metabolic balance, and many other physical and mental benefits.

Reflexology

There are 7,200 nerves in the bottom of your feet. They correspond with body parts, organs and tissues in your body. By using pressure on various areas of the sole of your foot, endorphins are released (natural pain killers) to help heal a certain area. Reflexology corrects imbalances in your body.
