Both Will and Dee are registered massage therapists licensed to practice in Virginia, since 1983.     Whether you are receiving massage for the first time or have been experiencing massage for years, you will enjoy the many benefits that Will and Dee has to offer! Massage therapy, when incorporated into your self-care program, can help you alleviate many problem conditions and improve your overall well being. Massage is a manual soft tissue manipulation and includes holding or applying pressure to the body.    Massage affects the whole body and is known to increase the circulation of blood and lymph flow.    A milky white fluid called lymph carries impurities and waste away from the tissues.    The lymph does not circulate as the blood does, so the movement depends on the massage manipulations to the muscles. For the whole body to be healthy, the cells must be healthy.    These cells are dependent on an abundant supply of blood and lymph and these fluids supply nutrients and oxygen.    In addition, they carry away wastes and toxins. Lactic and carbonic acids build up in muscle tissue shortly after exercise and massage helps to remove the accumulated by-products that irritate muscles and nerve endings.    Massage also helps in the recovery of soft tissue injuries, such as sprains and strains. Individuals who experience massage therapy realize that massage is a healing tool without the use of drugs.    Headaches, insomnia, digestive disorders, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and minor aches and pains are some of the problems that respond to massage therapy. Below are some of the benefits of massage: Creates changes in the blood by increasing the blood’s oxygen capacity Loosens contracted & shortened muscles and stimulates weak muscles Provides a gentle stretching action to both the muscles and connective tissues that surround and support the muscles Increases the body's secretions and excretions Balances the nervous system by soothing or stimulating it Enhances skin condition Affects the internal organs because of the increased blood supply.
