Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy is an effective approach to pain management and rehabilitation. It acts directly upon the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems to rehabilitate physical injuries and improve health. Research studies have found Massage Therapy to positively affect circulation, pain perception, muscular system, psychological state, the nervous system, respiratory function and the immune system.
