Massage Therapy
Muscle aches, chronic pain, minor illnesses and the discomforting effects of stress are always an annoyance, particularly when they interfere with our ability to remain productive at work and/or home.
Studies have shown that massage therapy promotes health by boosting the body's own processes by scientific manipulation of the soft tissues.
Message therapy:
- Improves blood circulation and flow of lymph
- Improves flexibility and reduce muscle tension
- Enhances skin condition
- Expedites the healing process and recovery
- Increases vitality and self-awareness
- Improves your mood and reduces stress
- Restores and rejuvenates you!
Please note: Strains and other acute soft tissue injuries require 48 hours to begin healing. It is advisable to wait at least 48 hours before initiating massage therapy.
The Wellness Center at City Hospital is pleased to offer full-body massage therapy conducted by certified and licensed massage therapists.
