Massage Reduces Stress - Relaxes Musculature – Increases Circulation Up to 90% of visits to physicians are for stress-related complaints: headaches, eye-strain, backaches, depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, heart disease and just plain physical and mental exhaustion. Muscles tighten due to stress, injury, poor circulation and repetitive movement. Tightness brings pain, discomfort and restricted movement. These conditions become habitual; they do not go away by themselves. You may even develop compensatory movement patterns. Massage Therapy helps alleviate injury and stress by relaxing musculature, breaking up scar tissue and making all tissue more pliable. Heart rate, blood pressure and circulation improve. Massage Therapy teaches you to listen to your body; you learn your body’s warning signs of stress and tension so are able to do preventive care, keeping yourself healthy. Massage Strengthens Immune System and Reduces Chronic Pain Massage Therapy stretches and loosens tight muscles and connective tissue. It breaks down scar tissue resulting from injury, surgery, etc. and prevents further scar development. Tight muscles cannot hold much fluid or allow fluid to pass through. Think of a sponge squeezed tightly. This decreases blood flow, putting more strain on your heart, creating fatigue, soreness and chronic pain. Loosening musculature, Massage Therapy enables the body to utilize nutrients and expel wastes. Increased blood flow equals increased immune system function; there is greater as well so recovery from injury and illness is greatly improved.

Sports Massage Training Massage Regular massage helps athletes increase flexibility and range of motion. There is faster recovery from workouts as well as relaxed and toned muscles. During training, massage helps prevent the development of chronic problems and speeds healing from current injuries. Pre-Event Massage A vigorous massage done before an athletic event stimulates circulation, calms nervous tension and prepares the body for peak performance. It warms and stretches muscles, increasing flexibility thereby reducing the chance of injury. Post-Event Massage Exercise creates tiny tears in the musculature. A massage after an event relieves swelling caused by this damage. It increases blood flow and inhibits scar tissue formation. Massage helps remove lactic acid, a waste product that is responsible for muscle soreness and burning felt after overworking a muscle. Post-event massage reduces stiffness and cramping and helps speed recovery time. Cold Laser Therapy Able Body Massage is proud to offer Cold Laser Therapy, also known as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). Studies have shown it to be safe and proven relief for the following: • Arthritis / Joint Pain • Bursitis • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Fibromyalgia • Heel Spurs / Plantar Fasciitis • Knee Pain • Muscle Pain / Spasms • Nerve Pain • Shoulder / Rotator Cuff • Sprain / Strain • Tendonitis • TMJ Pain • Trigeminal Neuralgia • Any many more... As the name suggests, the cold laser therapy is a treatment method under which laser beams are used to relieve inflammation and pain. The intensity of the laser beams used is quite low; the area treated is exposed to the laser beams for a specific time at set intervals. The term ’cold’ does not mean that the temperature of the laser, but refers to the intensity of the laser is low compared to high intensity ones, which may burn. The treatment method is referred to by several names such as laser acupuncture, low-level laser therapy, soft laser, low power laser therapy and bio-stimulation. The concept behind the use of low intensity laser beams is that lasers when calibrated to a certain wavelength have the potential to stimulate cells. This stimulation leads to progressed healing and reduction in pain and inflammation. The supporters of the cold laser therapy treatment are of the view that this form of treatment is like acupressure and acupuncture, where specific points in the body are targeted. Cold laser treatment can be highly beneficial for patients with chronic back pain, arthritis, joint pains, wound healing, sports injuries, soft tissue injuries, swelling and myofascial pain. The cold laser works towards increasing strength, speed and quality of repair of damaged tissues. This stimulation increases the supply of blood to the affected area and it starts healing. The cold laser therapy also helps generate healthy cells, which aid quick wound healing. Ionic Foot Bath Pollutants, chemicals, food preservatives, world travel and the stress of daily living are creating more toxins than ever. Some people come back from exotic vacations only to find their systems full of parasites that wreak havoc on the body’s systems. Ionic foot baths may help alleviate these problems. Ionic Foot Baths work to speed the removal of wastes from your system. The sea salt we add "energizes" the water producing more negative ions (good ions)*; these ions attach to the positive ions (bad ions)** in your body to neutralize and rid itself of them. About 20% of this material is drawn out of the feet; this explains the color seen in the water. The remaining 80% is excreted in the normal (yet enhanced) waythrough urine, sweat, solid waste, etc. Everyone’s experience is different. There is no prediction of how you will respond. This is another tool of preventive care. Ionic Foot Baths are not a substitute for a doctor’s diagnosis or treatment. Ionic footbaths are $30 per session. *Negative Ions are the good ions, giving you contented feelings, i.e. warm sun on your body, spring rains... **Positive Ions are bad ions draining your energy, i.e. sitting in front of a computer, florescent lighting, strong winds..
