Touch is a communication that goes beyond the mechanics of physical contact. It helps to integrate the mind, body, emotions and spirit through caring and intent. The immune system is strengthened; it reduces stress and anxiety through the release of endorphins; relieves muscle tension and soreness; lowers blood pressure; increases circulation; reduces pain and inflammation; promotes relaxation and restful sleep; and it gives the recipient a sense of well being. The beauty of massage is that you can change the strokes according to individual needs.
