Many of us think of massage as a great way to relax and unwind but did you know that it also helps your body heal and fights aging?

The latest research shows that the lifting and kneading of muscle tissue (such as in a Swedish or Deep Tissue type of massage) ‘turns off’ genes associated with inflammation and increases activity in the genes responsible for mitochondrial function. The mitochondria, located in every cell of our body, produce the energy necessary for every key function in the body including cellular growth and tissue repair among many others.

Massage is an important part of an effective wellness and anti-aging regimen and should be done on a regular basis to maintain optimal health and vitality. The Healing Sanctuary includes massage as an important aspect of our integrative approach to health and wellness.

We have expertly trained massage therapists offering a variety of massage techniques. Call today to book an appointment!
