Bodywork/Massage
Our human bodies need and deserve maintenance. Whether due to over-use, under-use or mis-use, muscles can develop knots (trigger points) which compress joints and create patterns of restriction. Soon, pain appears followed by more tension. Bodywork is essential to heal injuries, improve mobility, reduce inflammation, and unwind the broad effects of stress on the nervous system. An upward spiral!
