​

Massage therapy is one of the oldest therapies aimed at improving physical well-being.

​

Massage therapy can benefit anyone at any age.

​

How can massage therapy help you?

​

A massage helps you to become aware of the tension within your body. That tension is the result of conflicts, stress, fatigue or poor posture.   

       

The therapy works, among other things, on the skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments (those tissues are generally referred to as soft tissues) and is aimed at both physical and psychological well-being, since the two are closely linked.
