Massage Therapy - serving Fairfield and Westchester Counties by Mountain Therapeutics

Massage Therapy is a powerful and transformative tool for self discovery, healing and maintaining wellness. Stress is accumulative and overbearing especially when the bodies natural self modulating and restorative mechanisms are overwhelmed. The Body/Mind response to stress is to contract, shorten and tighten up. This slow accumulated effect of stress on our being allows us to be prone to injuries keeping us from what we love to do and from what nourishes us. It not only keeps us from enjoying activity that we love to do but keeps us from fully enjoying and utilizing resources at hand. This accumulated stress deprives us from the nutrition, hydration, and circulation by retarding the body’s ability to absorb what it needs to thrive even if we select to eat pure and organic.

It has been estimated by Harvard's Herbert Benson MD, author of The Relaxation Response, that 85% of all doctor's visits have their origin in stress. I’ll add that stress is a major contributor to premature aging.  The mind and its preoccupations have an amazing capacity to heal and to harm the body. To worry and procrastinate is harmful, and to positively affirm your life is beneficial. Massage Therapy is a powerful and very effective tool to counter the effects of Stress and affirm our being. For an hour, hour and half, the minds preoccupations are over whelmed and the mind has no choice but to be in the body. Massage therapy is a healthy endeavor that affects the quality of your life.

Better decisions are generated in a relaxed state of being. Studies at The touch institute at the University of Miami, Coral Gables has shone that a control group not getting regular massage not only made twice as many mistakes but took twice as long to compute simple math equations.

The benefits of massage are multidimensional and holistic, integrating physical, mental, spiritual, psychological, and energetic qualities. Massage therapy is about maintaining and optimizing wellness. Massage are for those who are proactive in improving all aspects of there lives. They understand intrinsically that massage therapy is more about self discovery, awareness and the healing process. To be whole we have to tend to all aspects of ourselves. Massage therapy can help us in our life and on our journey.
