Massage is the most fundamental of all healing techniques. It was indeed one of the most effective and important forms of relaxation and sports medicine available to ancient civilizations, and still is today.

But what can it do to help my aching back and joints?

Massage is essential for good health and well-being. We may not realise it, but from the time we are born we receive massage.

• Stroking a baby's back to pacify it... is massage
• Rubbing a sore tummy ... is massage
• People of all ages love to be touched and massaged

Massage provides:

• Stress relief for busy people
• Rapid recovery from injury
• Relief from tension headaches
• Increased mobility and therefore reduces likelihood of injury
• Increased circulation of blood and lymph (fluid in our body tissues) throughout the body
• A state of relaxation for the entire body and mind, mobilizes new health and energy.
