For years, getting a massage was considered a luxury. But around the turn of the century, things began to change: people began to discover the numerous physical and mental benefits of regular massage therapy. In addition to bodywork's well-known ability to relieve stress and rid backs of barnacles, the therapeutic benefits include improved immune-system function, enhanced circulation, and detoxification.

Essential Health Therapeutic Massage’s therapists embody this belief. They employ traditional Swedish massage along with hot-stone therapy as part of an overall approach to wellness. It seems to be working. A cursory look at the guest book turns up a slew of satisfied customers thanking the studio for relieving the pain of fibromyalgia or entrenched neck aches.
