Massage has numerous physical, emotional, and mental benefits for folks of every age. Most people book massages as part of their regular self-care routine because it produces feelings of mental relief as well as physical calm. And indeed, massage is clinically proven to lower the stress hormone cortisol by up to 31% and increase the feel good hormones of serotonin and dopamine by almost 30%.

Did you know that massage also helps address chronic health conditions? Paired alongside or instead of traditional treatments, massage provides relief for a wide range of ailments. This includes releasing tension from areas in pain from overuse (eg shoulders and neck from computer work, lower back pain during pregnancy) or injury (eg shoulder pain or knee pain).
