Benefits of acupuncture and remedial massage

Benefits of remedial massage
Massage is well known for its ability to address a broad range of painful musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions including osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, migraine/headache, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, sciatica, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, chronic muscle tension, repetitive strain conditions, and workplace, sporting and traumatic injuries.

Massage can be very effective in the treatment of stress related conditions including anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Massage can induce strong relaxation responses that can lower heart rate, respiratory rate, lower blood pressure and improve immune system functions.

Multiple studies have suggested that massage alters the body's physiological response to stress by lowering cortisol levels, increasing dopamine and serotonin (feel good) hormones and lowering excitatory hormones like norepinephrine and epinephrine.
Shane has been practicing massage for 21 years and is passionate about supporting his clients to improve their health and wellbeing using this powerful modality.
