It improves circulation, eases muscle aches and pains, improves flexibility, and provides overall relaxation.

Pilates and massage work well together to help stimulate circulation, pumping fresh oxygen and nutrients to muscles, bones, and internal organs. Like Pilates, massage therapy works to help muscles, tendons and ligaments stay flexible and strong, thereby improving balance, alignment and range of motion. Massage is a great benefit to the Pilates client because it elongates tight muscle fibers and "wakes up" the mind/body connection in chronically tight or spasmodic muscles. This allows the body to work in a more uniform, balanced and efficient way.  In addition, massage therapy can promote more efficient movement patterns and can help to alleviate a myriad of physical discomforts.

Massage has been around for as long as there has been tight, sore, or painful muscles, and that’s literally thousands of years. It’s a natural instinct to want to rub, stretch, or try to work out the “kinks” from a sore and tired body. Today, Massage Therapy occupies a unique place in the healthcare industry, and is widely recognized for it’s ability to heal and calm, correct and align, relax and refresh not merely the human body, but also the human spirit. Most importantly, massage gets results.

In its simplest terms massage can be defined as rubbing or kneading the body for stimulation or relaxation. The primary goal is to encourage relaxation, healing and well being through touch. Massage is not only a preventative bodywork, it is also useful in the treatment of anxiety, back pain, circulation problems, colic, depression, headaches, high blood pressure, hyperactivity, insomnia, sinusitis, tension, chronic neck, shoulder or back pain, whiplash, headaches, sciatica, and stress, among others.  Massage helps to keep the body and mind relaxed and stress-free. It can also increase your vitality and uplift your health to a consistent state of wellness. Massage relaxes the body, opens the mind, frees the creative spirit, sharpens the senses and clears the thinking. It gives you non-invasive, important human contact, allowing you openness and connection on many levels. In a stressful 21st century, therapeutic massage is a vital life enhancer.
