1. Reduces the effects of stress. Up to 90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related
       complaints such as headaches, neck pain, eye strain, poor concentration, anxiety, high blood pressure,
       heart disease, ulcers, as well as physical and emotional exhaustion.

   2. Relaxes tense muscles. Muscles can become tight and ineffective for many reasons. Stress, injury,
       poor circulation, overuse, and misuse can all cause you pain and discomfort as well as restrict your
       normal range of motion. These conditions can become habitual and hamper the quality of your everyday life.

   3. Increases blood flow. When your muscles become tight, the muscle cells cannot hold much
       fluid nor can the vessels allow much fluid to pass through the muscles. this decreases the circulation of
       blood and increases the strain placed on your heart. This can cause muscle fatigue, swelling and the
       lowering of your energy levels.

   4. Decreases chronic pain. Too many of us face our daily lives with chronic pain due to injuries and/or illness.

   5.  Strengthens the immune system. The lymphatic system is a major factor in your body's battle to ward off
        infection and heal injuries.  The lymphatic slow is usually sluggish in most people and especially so in those
        that have a less than active life style.

   6. Can improve nerve function. Tight muscles can press on or pinch your nerves causing tingling  numbness, or pain.

   7. Helps you sleep better. Tension from everyday stress can disrupt your sleep causing physical and
       emotional exhaustion, depriving you of the precious energy needed to face day to day life.

   8. Improves skin tone. Massage therapy dilates the blood capillaries of the skin increasing the repair
       nutrients and speeding the removal of harmful toxins. This improves circulation and helps to
       moisturize your skin improving the texture while relieving dryness and itching.
