Light Therapeutic Massage

Relaxation, Pain Relief and More Energy
Light structural massage is used successfully to treat a variety of conditions including emotional and work-related stress, depression, low energy and poor circulation. It's beneficial for babies with poor digestion and fussy children. Light touch is ideal for elderly people, anyone who bruises easily and anyone in pain who would like the benefits of deep structural massage.

How Light Therapeutic Massage Helps

• Calms the nervous system, slows and deepens breathing which increases relaxation and peaceful feelings.
• Care, attention and touch increase feelings of well-being and reduce stress.
• Improves circulation and lymph flow which can reduce pain and swelling and can increase energy.
• Increases vitality, energy and mental alertness by increasing circulation which brings nutrition to your cells and oxygen to your brain.
• Reduces muscle tension which increases comfort and deepens sleep.
• Reduces swelling caused by water retention by gently moving fluid into the circulation system where it can be eliminated.
• Relieves tension in the shoulders, neck and chest muscles.
• Speeds healing from injury and surgery by increasing circulation which improves the flow of oxygen and nutrients to cells and removes waste products.
• Stimulates release of endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers.

Craniosacral massage is one type of light therapeutic massage. Craniosacral releases restrictions and imbalances throughout the craniosacral system. These releases strengthen the body's ability to take care of itself, promote deep relaxation, bring relief from chronic fatigue syndrome, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, and other conditions.
