Massage Therapies
Rhode Island Therapy & Wellness For Women (RITWW) massage therapists are state licensed certified professionals with over 500 hours of course work from accredited programs. Each massage session is tailored for an individual’s needs, physical condition, and specific areas of pain. The massage treatment area is a comfortable, relaxing, private room with respect given to modesty at all times.
Massage therapy may improve a variety of conditions including arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, chronic and acute pain, circulatory problems, gastrointestinal disorders, reduced range of motion, sports injuries, stress, and TMJ dysfunction.
Massage is especially useful when muscles have been overworked because the body produces waste products (such as lactic acid) that accumulate in the body. This can result in soreness, stiffness, and muscle spasms. Massage flushes out the toxins to improve blood and lymphatic circulation, brings oxygen and other nutrients to the tissues that have been affected, and enhances recovery. Massage also increases the production of pain-killing endorphins and the hormone serotonin while limiting the release of the stress hormone cortisol. It strengthens the immune system while improving digestion, elimination, and absorption of nutrients.
