Balance Massage

Massage is a “hands on” therapy where we work with the soft tissue to facilitate change and reduce muscle tension and pain.

Massage improves blood flow to the muscle tissue and other soft tissues (eg: tendon, ligaments and connective tissue). It enhances the uptake of oxygen and nutrients and flushes out toxins resulting in healthier muscle tissue. It also helps to realign muscle fibers and can lower levels of Cortisol (stress hormone) and calm the central nervous system.
