Bodywork/Massage Therapy - Integrative massage and hands-on care can be the main focus or part of your therapy. It acknowledges that all psychological distress has a physical component. Something in your body lets you know your feeling bad. It usually deserves attention in a holistic approach to healing.

• Chronic pain is both cause and effect of personal difficulty or injury. Experience new ways to manage long-term pain.
• Injuries can be short-term disruption to general life. Hands-on work with injured tissues and joints can speed recovery and avoid chronic unfinished healing.
• Stress is unavoidable in life. Even good things and positive changes alter your typical rhythms. Massage can keep you on track during changes as well as when injury occurs.
