How does massage play a role?
Massage is preventative care
Massage therapy is highly effective for pain relief, but it is an amazing preventive therapy as well. Massage helps build and maintain a healthy body (and mind), it combats stress, and it works to keep the immune system strong. In short, massage can keep on working for you, even after the pain is gone.
“My knowledge in holistic therapies of bodywork and the understanding of pathology triggers caused by diet and lifestyle in relation to a person’s overall health are key in my perspective for total wellness.
Experience derived from twenty-two years in the field of massage therapy, combined with the knowledge I’ve attained via continuing education (current graduate student at UAMS), hands-on nursing skills, and my own rigorous fitness training experience, gives me a total understanding of the human body that is not found within either profession independently.”
