Marcos Pichardo: Services

Massage has been proven by medical research to have a major impact on pain relief of the body by stimulating the release of Endorphins or the body’s “feel good” hormones as they are called.  Massage therapy, done properly, can reduce anxiety and stress by the releasing of another hormone, Cortisol.  It can also impact Serotonin levels and promote improved sleep.

Massage improves circulation, stimulates the Lymphatic System (boosting the body’s immunity and natural defense mechanisms) and also improves the flexibility of the joints and the range of motion which can reduce muscular injuries.

My goal as a Massage Practitioner is to improve your state of energy, well- being, relieve pain due to musculoskeletal injuries and provide an overall positive body experience.  Massage fulfills the body’s need for touch, improves emotional well-being by allowing the person to feel cared and nurtured for and I offer this through a variety of approaches which are listed below.
