Healing Arts

Massage

Massage therapy is the systematized manipulation of soft tissues. Practitioners use a variety of physical methods including applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, or causing movement to the body. Therapists primarily use their hands, but may also use their forearms and elbows.

Touch is the core ingredient of massage therapy and also combines science and art. Practitioners learn specific techniques for massage and use their sense of touch to determine the right amount of pressure to apply to each person and locate areas of tension and other soft-tissue problems. Touch also conveys a sense of caring, an important component in the healing relationship.

Therapeutic massage can be used to promote general well-being while boosting the circulatory and immune system to benefit blood pressure, circulation, muscle tone, digestion and skin tone.

T or C has a variety of treatments to offer. Deep Tissue, Swedish massage, Cranial Sacral Release and Hot Stone techniques are offered by local practitioners. Treatment pricing varies per therapist. Please contact La Paloma to set up an appointment.
