Massage is one of the oldest known healing traditions. The Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese and Indians used massage techniques for its therapeutic properties to help treat a variety of ailments.

Massage therapy is the practice of kneading, applying pressure or manipulating muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments to break down adhesions and increase blood supply to the area bringing fresh nutrients and removing toxins that create tightness, pain and dysfunction in muscles. This helps to repair damaged tissues whilst increasing the mobility and function of the muscles and joints in turn improving  the health and wellbeing of the individual.

Massage can stimulate the blood supply and lymph,
particularly in the injured areas, thus removing blockages, damaged cells, scar tissue and adhesions resulting from injury. The goal of the therapist is to balance the length, tone and tension of muscles and tendons, which restore the correct position of the bones, increase blood flow and heal injuries.
