Benefits of Massage!!

  • In my opinion, the best benefit of massage is your awareness of self. Many times people come in and say "I didn't even know that area was sore until you touched it!" Massage can let you know where in your body you are beginning to develop dysfunction before you develop an injury and end up in real pain.
