Stress Relief & Relaxation

 The term "muscle memory" is a very real thing - everything from habitual posture & sleeping habits to even the formation of stress at the time of the reaction. Fascia has also been shown to store memories, trauma, and emotion. For example, if a practitioner is working on releasing tension in the neck and shoulders, a very emotional area of the body, the fascia & muscle fibers will remember exactly what happened at the time of the contractile tension. Feel it, let it flow, let it go. I'm always happy to facilitate an environment of emotional release, whatever that looks like for you. 

Regular massages have been linked to reduced blood pressure levels and physical discomfort caused by stress, enhanced blood flow delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues promoting relaxation, and releasing built-up tension in muscle fibers. Massage therapy triggers the release of endorphins, reducing stress hormones like cortisol & elevates your mood creating a sense of well-being.
