Massage Therapy

Attentive Touch Massage...

Massage Therapist: Dawn Bell,

An Attentive Touch Massage provides adults and children with a healthier lifestyle through alternative treatment and education. Our specialized treatments include massage hands-on treatment to provide adults and children with a healthier, calmer, stress-free lifestyle.


Why Massage Works...

When muscles are overworked, waste products such as lactic acid can accumulate in the muscle, causing soreness, stiffness, and even muscle spasm. Massage improves circulation, which increases blood flow, bringing fresh oxygen to body tissues. This can assist the elimination of waste products, speed healing after injury, and enhance recovery from disease. Therapeutic massage can be used to promote general well-being and enhance self-esteem, while boosting the circulatory and immune systems to benefit blood pressure, circulation, muscle tone, digestion, and skin tone.
