MASSAGE

We have many types of massage therapists at the Osteopathic House, including McKenzie, James, and Masako, and they are all here to share the feel-good factor. Each are different and because there are so many types it is hard to know which one is right for you. The easiest way is to try them all, but if it is for a particular problem talk to reception and we can get one of them to call you back to discuss your individual needs. McKenzie works on a Tuesday, and occasionally a weekday evening,  James, and Masako a Saturday and we now have McKenzie at our Pinner Branch on a Sunday. Basically, we have you covered.

Massage increases the blood and lymph circulation to the skin, underlying muscle and tissue. Sounds good already and there is more. Oxygen enriched blood aids the healing of damaged tissue and speeds up the elimination of toxins. Blood pressure is lowered, the pulse rate slows, and muscle tension is released. The mind is calmed, anxiety reduced and depression is lifted. While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found massage may also be helpful for anything from anxiety to insomnia.

We have a page on Indian Head massage so this one is about normal therapeutic massage. Masako offer (Indian head massage)

Beyond the benefits for specific conditions or diseases, most people just enjoy massage because it can produce feelings of caring, comfort and connection.
