Body Work vs. Massage
Body Workers Don't IMPOSE Pain, We Expose Pain! Body work is not a massage, it is a specific treatment designed to treat a specific problem such as sciatia, migranes or another example, frozen shoulders. It works to restore a muscle or group of muscles that have stopped functioning normally due to restrictions caused by trigger points, or visceral and or myo-fascial congestion. The techniques used will be customized and tailored to meet the needs of your body.	Massage on the other hand is for the purpose of relaxation and relieving stress, lower blood pressure and increase blood circulation. Clinical research has shown that massage is effective in covering a vast range of ailments. Research indicates relaxed muscles naturally result in a reduction of pain, stress and anxiety and in addition, massage therapy has been shown to stimulate the production of endorphins ( the body's natural pain-killers). How Massage Benefits and Works: Reduces blood pressure and lowers heart rate Increases blood circulation, reduces blood sugars in diabetes.

As a therapist I work at helping my clients and patients to relax before getting into areas that are tender and painful to do serious body work.
