In addition to my business information, I have added some educational articles and things of interest, which you can find listed in the drop-down menu below. New articles are added periodically. Are you new to therapeutic massage therapy? If so, here is a little basic information: Gentle massage affects the nervous system through nerve endings in the skin, stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's natural 'feel good' chemicals, to help induce relaxation and a sense of well-being, to relieve pain and reduce levels of stress chemicals such as cortisol and noradrenaline. It helps reverse the damaging effects of stress by slowing heart rate, respiration and metabolism and lowering raised blood pressure. Stronger massage stimulates blood circulation to improve the supply of oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and helps the lymphatic system to flush away waste products. It eases tense and knotted muscles and stiff joints, improving mobility and flexibility. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serving Seaside, Seagrove Beach, Manchester, Tullahoma and surrounding areas ~ Office and Out Calls ~ About my work Contact Benefits Gift Certificates Member AMTA  u  Certified Massage Therapist u  Nationally Certified by NCBTMB  u u  Licensed in Florida (MA36184) and Tennessee (1045)  u MORE INFO & ARTICLES: Hot Stone Massage What is a Massage Like?
