Pain can have a negative impact on a person's quality of life and make it more difficult to recover from an illness or injury. The important role of massage in pain relief has recently been highlighted by new research.
Massage therapy has been shown in studies to help strengthen the immune system by enhancing the activity of the body's natural "killer T cells," which attack viruses and lower cortisol. Massage therapy flushes toxins out of our bodies by improving blood flow.
Stress can have long-term mental and physical consequences. Massage treatment appears to have a direct effect on the symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression (all of which are linked to mental health).
Massage therapy helps professional and recreational athletes by reducing muscle tension, improving exercise performance, and preventing injuries. Receiving a massage enhances overall blood flow, which can aid in the faster relief of soreness.

David's Specialized Exercise Therapy Techniques
Walking, jogging, swimming, riding a bike, and jumping rope are examples of endurance exercises that increase your breathing and heart rate. Endurance exercise increases your overall fitness and keeps your heart, lungs, and circulatory system healthy. As a result, those who engage in the appropriate amount of physical activity on a regular basis can lower their chance of developing diseases including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
Flexibility exercises help your body stay flexible by stretching your muscles. These exercises may not increase your endurance or strength, but flexibility allows you to move more freely during other workouts and in everyday activities. It could also assist you in avoiding discomfort when you are trapped in a space for an extended amount of time.
Muscle strength improves your capacity to do daily tasks and helps to protect your body from injury. Stronger muscles also result in a higher metabolic rate, which means you'll burn more calories even when you're not exercising. The emphasis is on simple, weight-bearing workouts that use free weights, machines, or your own body's resistance. These workouts can be done separately from your cardio or as an addition to an existing routine.
Many tasks we do every day, such as walking and going up and down the stairs, require good balance. Balance exercises can help prevent falls, which are a significant problem among older persons and stroke patients. Because weight is not usually carried or distributed equally throughout the body, they can also help obese people. When standing or moving suddenly, a loss of balance might occur. We often aren't aware of how bad our balance is until we do balance exercises.
"David is an excellent massage therapist and owner. I haven't been this pleased with a massage in many years. He's very intuitive and knows what needs to be addressed by touch! I cannot recommend him highly enough and I will definitely be a returning customer!

"David has worked on me for years now. I've seen him after having major foot surgeries or just a kink in the neck, and he always knows just what my body needs. He is also skilled with using hot stones and knows a lot about reflexology, which is such an added bonus to his work. I highly recommend seeing him.

"I've using David for several years now due to severe neck pain. Seeing him on a regular basis helped me to improve my mobility, and I even sleep better at night. I've had plenty of massages where they just go through the motions - but this is nothing like that. He customized my treatment."

Exercise therapy is very similar to what most people know as physical therapy. Exercise therapy, in its most basic form, involves prescribed movement to rectify deficiencies, restore muscle and skeletal function, and maintain a state of well-being. The scientific data establishing the positive effects of exercise is undeniable, and in most adults, the benefits considerably outweigh the hazards. What's the difference between exercise and physical activity? The contraction of skeletal muscle that creates bodily movement and demands energy is referred to as physical activity. Exercise is a planned and executed physical activity with the purpose of improving or maintaining physical fitness.
The term "Reiki" refers to a "mysterious environment" and a "miraculous sign." It is derived from the Japanese terms "rei," which means "universal," and "ki," which means "living energy." Reiki is an energy healing technique. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical harm or even mental pain, according to practitioners. These energy bottlenecks can lead to sickness over time. In a similar way to acupuncture, energy medicine tries to assist the passage of energy and remove obstacles. Reiki practitioners think that increasing the flow of energy around the body can help people relax, heal faster, and have fewer symptoms of illness.
A massage therapist differs from a bodyworker in that a massage therapist will do the same massage and strokes every time. No matter what is different in your body, they will offer you the same massage. A bodyworker is someone who creates long-term, revolutionary change. A bodyworker notices a trend in a person's physical body and attempts to modify it. Manipulation therapy, breathwork, and energy medicine are all part of the bodywork. Bodywork techniques attempt to analyze or improve posture as well as raise awareness of the "body-mind connection."
If you request one of my sessions, I can perform my work in the comfort of your own home, or I can go to a business that is set up for contractors. I aim to find the location that will be the most relaxing and convenient for my clients.
