By integrating massage therapy into your healing process, you can lessen your down time after injury, limit your flares of chronic pain, and immensely reduce your chances of injury. Instead of quickly numbing the pain, find the source, figure out the cause, and make a plan to correct it. Many intense pains and postural problems in the body can be caused by tight muscles or bulky knotted muscles impinging nerves. 

When you release tension in the body, you allow it to function at its best. You gain full range of motion; your muscles are relaxed, and you begin to gain back your natural posture. The domino effect of problem after problem will stop its cycle and you will have the perfect foundation to build strength and healthy muscle.
