About 24 million Americans have migraines.  Sufferers of migraine headaches may occur at any age but commonly begin between ages 10 through 40; in addition, women are more susceptible than men.

A medical journal titled the Annals of Behavioral Medicine published a 2006 study that reported massage therapy recipients exhibited fewer migraines and improved sleep quality than the control group.  Another medical periodical titled International Journal of Neuroscience published a 1998 study that found massage therapy reduced the occurrence of headaches, sleep disturbances and distress symptoms in adults with migraines.

Research illustrates massage therapy may facilitate greater comfort and promote greater functional everyday living.  Improve your quality of life through massage and bodywork.

Hello!

Pinched nerves are commonly seen in the massage and bodywork clinic. Oftentimes, no unusual exertion is required to experience one of these. Pushing yourself out of bed half asleep with your eyes shut [yawning] and... Ouch! There it is. But you can put this pain behind you with massage and bodywork.   

Initial symptoms of a pinched nerve are tingling, numbness and a burning or shooting sensation. Common causes include poor posture, osteoarthritis and overuse syndrome.

If you are seeking alternative treatments to medication and surgery, ask your physician for a prescription for therapeutic massage.

Achieve wellness through Massage & Bodywork!
