Bodywork offers a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic approach based on the body's natural ability to heal itself. Massage has many physiological effects, such as:

• Increasing circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs.
  
  
• Stimulating the lymph system, the body's natural defense, against toxic invaders. For example, in breast cancer patients, massage has been shown to increase the cells that fight cancer.
  
  
• Relaxing and softening injured and overused muscles.
  
  
• Reducing spasms and cramping.
  
  
• Increasing joint flexibility.
  
  
• Reducing recovery time for strenuous workouts and eliminating subsequent pains of the athlete at any level.
  
  
• Releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkiller. For this reason, massage is being incorporated into treatment for chronic illness, injury and recovery from surgery to control and relieve pain.
  
  
• Reducing post-surgery adhesions and edema and reducing and realigning scar tissue after healing has occurred.
  
  
• Improving range of motion and decreasing discomfort for patients with low back pain.
  
  
• Relieving pain for migraine sufferers and decreasing the need for medication.
  
  
• Providing exercise and stretching for atrophied muscles and reducing shortening of the muscles for those with restricted range of motion.
