What is the difference between a pampering massage at the local spa and a restorative massage from Karing Vitality’s Holistic Health Practitioners? Pampering spa massages feel great for one day, but if you want that luxurious feeling to last and improve your body’s overall health and wellness, you’ll need a restorative massage that’s designed just for you. You’ll feel your sore muscle pain disappear, your posture realign leaving your body feeling great all day, every day, even for the busiest people.

With Restorative massage, you will

	Feel fantastic after any strenuous workout by reducing muscle fatigue. The restorative massage enhances your blood circulation and increases the amount of oxygen and nutrients available to the muscles.
	Increase your flexibility and tone your weak muscles, - you’ll feel your body strengthen and improve with each session.
	Feel your confidence level soar as you start to walk and sit up straight with perfect posture, even after a busy day. Massaged muscles lose tension as trigger points are released. Your gait becomes more efficient, posture is correctly aligned and balanced and motor skills are improved.
	Treat pain at its source. By applying pressure to specific parts of your muscle tissues, you’ll significantly reduce painful “trigger point” formation  in both muscle and support structures to give your body the true relaxation it needs.
	Relax your mind as well as your body. In the high stress world of today, restorative massage can be used to reduce neuromuscular complaints by decreasing electromyography (EMG) readings (signifying a decrease in neuromuscular activity), which allows your mind and body to relax and recuperate.
	Allowing muscles to lengthen so you can increase the effectiveness of workouts and prevent tension due to stresses of everyday life. We’ll stretch and broaden your muscle tissue through joint mobilization and stretches.
	Have that “just massaged” feeling all day, every day, as your muscular nutrition and recovery time improves through increased nutrients in your blood.
	Eliminate muscle spasms through compressive strokes and cross fiber friction strokes which separate and relax muscle fibers. This eliminates chronic pain & helps you enjoy your favorite activities again!
	Induce a deep and total relaxation like you’ve never felt before as the activity of creatine kinase in the blood is reduced and your muscle contraction is decreased (Creatine kinase is an enzyme that helps the body maintain enough adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for muscle contraction).
	Allow your muscles to recuperate faster with the rapid disposal of waste products, further reducing muscle fatigue and soreness. Your fatigued muscles will recuperate 100% after 5 minutes of restorative massage as opposed to 20% during 5 minutes of just rest.
