  • Why is it recommended to drink water after a massage?

    Drinking water post massage helps the body flush out any accumulated materials that were released during the massage. This is especially pertinent in deep tissue and therapeutic massage as massage stimulates circulation in the body. READ MORE

  • What are the benefits of massage for seniors?

    Hello, and thank you for your question. Massage is one of the greatest stress reduction tools we have in our self-care programs. Massage promotes overall relaxation, including reducing tension stored in the body and allows the receiver to completely relax and let go. Also, please let your grandfather know that he can remain clothed during massage. Many people are sometimes anxious about the idea of disrobing for a massage . Perhaps you should get your grandfather a gift certificate for a treatment to see if he likes it? They make excellent Christmas gifts! READ MORE

  • What causes knots in your muscles?

    Hello. Muscle "knots' are usually a type of spasm that causes small portions of a muscle to tense up. This tension can be painful. Knots usually happen because a muscle has been irritated by a repetitive motion over an extended period of time. A muscle might also knot up when it's in an awkward or unusual position for too long. Overuse, poor posture and other lifestyle factors may cause knots as well. These painful knots often go away with treatment including massage, cupping, stretching or acupressure. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope it helps. Heather Hawthorne, LMT READ MORE
