BENEFITS OF MASSAGE

Hands on Therapies are more than pampering.

STRESS... Everyone experiences it. No one is immune to this necessary part of life. Frequent or unrelenting stress can damage your body and is a contributing factor to most disease processes.

What stress does to you:
Your body reacts unconciously to situations you find threatening. Its emergency stress response primes you for fight of flight by causing certain physiological changes to take place:
  • your body produces additional adrenaline
  • the functioning of your immune and digestive systems is inhibited
  • the flow of blood to your extremities and internal organs is diminished.
Possible results of unattended stress:
  • changes in blood sugar
  • colitis and ulcers
  • heart disease, high blood pressure and hypertension
Palliative care can dramatically reverse the damaging
physiological effects of stress by helping to:
  • lower your heart rate and blood pressure and improve blood circulation
  • heighten your sense of well-being and drop your anxiety level
  • release endorphins, the body’s natural pain killer
Hands on therapies can do more than promote relaxation. Palliative care can:
  • relieve back pain
  • treat migraines
  • ease symptoms of Carpal Tunnel
  • alleviate side effects of cancer
"My chiropractor referred me to Patti, not because of a serious problem but for my general well-being. Patti starts each session with conversation, so she can sense how my health might be affected by what’s going on in my life. Her advice and care have been invaluable when I’ve been ill or faced a medical procedure. I know she’s there to help me through any health crisis." - Janice
“Someday you will look at yourself in the mirror in celebration and know that you've arrived, back home to yourself. You will see in the mirror's reflection a person who has travelled on life's journey and has hurt, laughed, grown, and loved. You will love the creases around your eyes when you smile, the shape of the body that you wear..., the inherent kindness in the thoughts that you ponder, the sea of emotions that you feel, and the loving connections that your spirit feels so intensely and overflow your heart. And you will know that you love yourself and feel grateful for every part of your soul's journey. “ - Frankie Perez/MindGym FB page
