How can massage therapy help me?
Massage for Pain Management
Both acute and chronic pain can benefit from regular bodywork. Massage therapy can:
- Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion
- Relax and soften tight, tired, and overused muscles
- Increase joint flexibility
- Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation
- Reduce spasms and cramping
- Relieve headaches and migraine pain
- Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body’s natural defense system
Massage for Stress and Anxiety
The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits. Massage therapy can:
- Decrease anxiety and stress
- Stimulate the release of serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin - three powerful feel-good hormones
- Release endorphins, the body's natural pain-killer
- Improve energy levels
- Promote better, more restful sleep
Covid-19 Safety
- I am in compliance with all CDC and Maryland state guidelines as far as Covid-19 safety.
- In Baltimore County, massage therapists and clients are no longer required to wear face masks during massage therapy sessions. In my private practice I will defer to my clients' comfort level with regard to face masks because I understand and respect that it is a deeply personal decision.
- If you are exhibiting any signs of illness specific to Covid-19, feel you may be getting sick, or have been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for Covid-19 in last 14 days, I ask that you please reschedule.
- I have received both doses and the booster of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. I do not require clients to be vaccinated in order to receive services.
- I clean and disinfect all surfaces after each client using a CDC approved disinfectant, and launder all sheets and linens after every client.
- And finally, I take care of myself. We will all get through this if we stay safe and take care of ourselves and each other.
