Wellness & Relaxation Massage is For You
The mind-body connection facilitated by the central nervous system is intricate and amazing! There is much to be said about taking care of both our mind and our body on our journey to whole body wellness! We have two main branches of our nervous system - sympathetic and parasympathetic! The parasympathetic nervous system is our "rest and digest", while the sympathetic is responsible for the "fight or flight" response. When we are experiencing internal or external stressors that the body perceives as dangerous, our sympathetic nervous system will send signals to release "stress" hormones. Relaxation/Wellness massage helps decrease the firing of the sympathetic nervous system and awaken the parasympathetic nervous system! It's then that we can BEST heal, rejuvenate, carry out important bodily functions, regulate blood pressure, relieve feelings of anxiousness, stress and worry, and generally feel well. It is also important in decreasing the perception of pain which happens in the brain.

"I love to help clients reduce their stress and anxiety with a light to moderate pressure that encourages their nervous system to wind down in order to allow their body to rest and repair." - Jennifer Dwyer, RMT
The Importance of Wellness Massage For Adolescents
The benefits of massage therapy for adolescents extend beyond the benefits for most population groups! Adolescents experience stress and hold tension in their bodies - just as adults do - except with a lower threshold for coping, and with less learned skills for coping and caring for their bodies to mitigate their challenges. When the socio-emotional influences on the perception of pain, tension, and sense of well-being in young people are considered, and treated with intentional massage therapy, the benefits of this healthcare profession's care approach has a great reach! From emotionally-charged conversations with peers, to extended periods of time looking down at school work or electronics, to the bodily demands of extracurriculars - and all in a growing, tired body - adolescents have countless ways to benefit from massage as a part of their self-care regimen!
