Massage therapy at Heal Thyself & Co. focuses on the healing of soft tissue through various rehabilitative modalities that address the body’s many layers of fascia and muscle. When an area of the body is stressed, surrounding tissues thicken in order to protect the injured site. With a combination of massage and stretching, muscle can regain its appropriate length and pain is minimized if not alleviated. Massage accomplishes this because it softens fascia, which allows for optimal circulation of lymphatic fluids and makes our muscles operate more efficiently and with greater strength. This leads to better overall health, well-being, and comfort.
