Therapeutic Massage and the Stress
Response:
Frequent or unrelenting stress can damage your body,
ultimately leading to discomfort and pain. Stress is a contributing
factor in most disease processes.
Massage therapy provides an immediate
and natural remedy to the stress response (fight or flight) by
helping to:
-
lower your heart rate and blood
pressure
-
improve your circulation of blood and lymph fluid
(thereby improving immunity and
detoxification)
-
increase metabolism and enhance
digestion
-
heighten you sense of
well-being
-
cause anxiety levels to drop by encouraging deeper,
fuller breathing and release of endorphins
-
relieve chronic or acute pain to accelerate the healing
process and prevent
re-injury
In addition, massage therapy is a necessary component for
Sports Performance at any level. Currently working with
various professional and Olympic athletes,
Roberto knows that Professional
Trainers insist their athletes receive massage REGULARLY. If you or
anyone you know are attempting to enhance their wellness and fitness
through time at the gym and/or competition, massage is key.
Therapeutic massage will reduce recovery time and increase the
benefit of each workout and/or training session.
Touch for Health
Kinesiology:
Touch For
Health (TFH) combines sports muscle kinesiology and Chinese
Five Elements acupuncture/ touch to bring the body into harmonious
balance.
Using gentle and
highly effective techniques, Touch For Health allows us to balance
the acupuncture meridians, test for food allergies and nutritional
deficiencies. We restore muscular and structural balance
(alleviating pain and discomfort), decrease emotional stress,
neurological disorders, clear mental/emotional blocks and more.
TFH having been
extremely effective in his own
healing process, Roberto went on to
complete the Touch For Health Synthesis training through the Touch
For Health Kinesiology Association of America so that he would have
these skills available to his clients and students.
