Massage and Psychotherapy:
Bodywork has been shown to improve disposition and sense of well being by stimulating the release and distribution of endorphins and serotonin within your body. These neuro-chemicals are your happy juice, and the more you have coursing through your system, the more you enjoy your existence. It’s not uncommon for people to leave the massage table in a state of acceptance and optimism, prepared to face life’s challenges. In fact, people often find their time on the table a perfect opportunity to work through difficult issues in a relaxing and loving environment. It’s long been known that what we do not confront and process mentally and emotionally stores in our bodies on a cellular level, and manifests as physical pain and restriction. Bodywork loosens the hold that these memories and traumatic experiences have on our lives and allows us to move through our challenges in an empowered state. For this reason, Therapeutic Bodywork is a beautiful complement to psychotherapy.
