Massage Therapist
Here are some tips to choosing the best massage therapist in The Villages, FL: 1. Know your goals We’re all looking for something different from a massage.

Prenatal massage: Help for your pregnancy aches and pains

Massage Therapist
What is prenatal massage? Prenatal massage is a type that's similar to regular massage – it aims to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and just make you feel good. But prenatal massage is also customized to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies, and therapists trained in prenatal massage adjust their techniques accordingly.

Prenatal Massage Therapy

Massage Therapist
Prenatal Massage Therapy The best time in a woman’s life is when she is pregnant. During this time, she glows as she radiates love from within.

PTSD Treatment for Children using Massage

Pediatric Massage Therapist
PTSD Treatment for Children Studies and research have proven that people suffering from a traumatic situation can continue with the unnatural feeling for years. Unless it is curtailed through some form of therapy, a child who has been through the ring will never get over the trauma. There are proven ways to help the kid from getting past these problems by talking things over with a certified counselor. It can take a while, however, to get a kid to open up especially if s/he has been at the receiving end of a terrible situation on the home front or elsewhere. Most often people do not open up about the problem and that is where massage therapy works rather well as this not only gets the child to relax but also…
