Massage isn't a new trend, it's History!

Massage is not a luxury, it's a necessary part of our health. The trend these days is for preventative health, and more holistic options than simply visiting your doctor for a prescription - which is where massage comes in!

Massage has literally been used for thousands of years to assist with disease prevention and recovery, relaxation, mental well-being, and injury recovery. In fact, the earliest written records of massage were found in China & Egypt dating back to 2700 BCE, and 3000 BCE in India! The practice of Ayurvedic Medicine in India is a Sanskrit word meaning "life health" or "life science". Ayurvedic Medicine is widely regarded as the basis for holistic medicine, combining meditation, relaxation treatments and aromatherapy.

​Incorporating massage into "western" medicine is still in it's infancy, and is rapidly gaining momentum across the United States. Public demand for massage is at an all time high! Massage has been proven to assist with:
  • Decrease anxiety and depression.
