Massage Therapy
A natural, drug free, feel good antidote for what ails you
Forget for a minute that massage has been practiced on earth for centuries and that it feels great. Instead let’s focus on the battles that massage could help fight for us against the effects of our most insidious adversary, STRESS. Stress is responsible for nearly ninety percent of the diseases we are battling. The pounding we’re taking from 21st century life is depleting our natural immunity and powers of regeneration.
The good news is that massage can help strengthen and deploy our natural defenses against stress-related disorders. Massage creates chemical reactions in our bodies that stimulate our own disease fighting lymph system. It stimulates circulation to bring nutrients to our extremities. And it releases endorphins that relieve pain and lessen our dependence on medication and has been shown to improve brain function.
At Back to Health our massage therapists are some of the best in the business and have rave reviews from our patients. Many treatment plans we offer include massage and the best part is that Most Insurance Plans cover massage.
