Every body can use a massage. Massage immensely benefits both mental and physical hetitleh.

Mobile massage takes the transportation element out of your relaxation experience. The trip to and from the spa can often greatly diminish the benefits of the massage. When we bring the massage to you at your choice of location, we are encouraging your body to be at its most relaxed, unguarded and at ease in familiar situations.

Massage does much more than create a pleasant sensation on the skin. It also works on the soft tissues(the muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone. titlehough it largely affects those muscles just under the skin, its benefits may also reach the deeper layers of muscle and possibly even the organs themselves. Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system), improving the elimination of waste throughout the body.

According AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association), massage helps both physically and mentally.

"Often times people are stressed in our culture. Stress-related disorders make up between 80-and-90 percent of the ailments that bring people to family-practice physicians. What they require is someone to listen, someone to touch them, someone to care. That does not exist in modern medicine. One of the complaints heard frequently is that physicians don't touch their patients any more. Touch just isn't there. Years ago massage was a big part of nursing. There was so much care, so much touch, so much goodness conveyed through massage. Now nurses for the most part are as busy as physicians. They're writing charts, dealing with insurance notes, they're doing procedures and often there is no room for massage any more. I believe massage therapy is absolutely key in the healing process not only in the hospital environment but because it relieves stress, it is obviously foundational in the healing process any time and anywhere."
Joan Borysenko - Massage Journal Interview, Fall 1999
