(What is massage therapy?)
Massage Therapy is manual, or hands on manipulation of soft body tissues (muscles, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) through techniques like kneading, petrissage, effleurage, vibration, and joint movements. Massage therapy can be beneficial especially for athletes or those often physically active. Also everyone from babies to elders to those in special populations! Consult with your doctor however and have a professional consultation before proceeding!
The history and science of massage therapy has been evolving for centuries just as any other medical science. Regions all over the world utilize massage therapy in one form or another to promote health, treat illness and injuries, and possibly prevent life threatening conditions. Today, massage therapy has made a profound positive impact not only on peoples day to day lives but also on the healthcare industry. In saying that, Ohio is the first state to regulate massage therapy as a "limited branch of medicine" and all licensed massage therapist in Ohio should be licensed through the State Medical Board of Ohio. Still, while some seek massage therapy for more therapeutic reasons others just simply enjoy it.
I chose to practice massage therapy because of many reasons. One in particular, I enjoy the exclusive interactions I have with many people. My expectation is for you to experience a highly educated, beyond 5 star* treatment. I believe personally that massage therapy helps unite the mind, body, and spirit. How? Through the experience I provide for you and I want you to see for yourself!
