Marie Demarco, LMT, CPMT
Massage Therapist/Bodyworker
Sayville, NY 11782
My practice is in Sayville,N.Y. on Sunrise Hwy.We are a wellness center.The office also consists of 2 chiropractors and we feature a total wellness approach to health care. I have been here for about 6 yrs.and I have a very diverse practice consisting of pediatrics as well as adults.My approach to wellness is the body as a whole.There is no denying the power of body work. Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it(therapeutic,rejuvenating,pampering)or the reasons we seek it out(stress relief,pain management,or a luxurious treat),massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen. Research continues to show the enormous benefits of touch--which range from treating chronic diseases,neurological disorders,and injuries,to alleviating the tensions of modern lifestyles.Consequently,the medical community is actively embracing bodywork,and massage is becoming an integral part of hospice care and neonatal intensive care units.Many hospital are also incorporating on-site massage practitioners and even spas to treat postsurgery or pain patient as part of the recovery process. Furthermore,clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a massage.The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits. In response to massage,specific physiological and chemical changes cascade throughout the body,with profound effects. This translates into: Decrease anxiety. Enhance sleep quality. Greater energy. Improve concentration. Increase circulation. Reduce fatigue. High blood pressure patients demonstrate lower diastolic blood pressure,anxiety and stress hormones. Research shows that with massage: Asthmatic CHILDREN show better pulmonary function and increased peak air flow. Preterm INFANTS have improved weight gain. Arthritis sufferers note fewer aches and less stiffness and pain. Premenstrual syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and cramping. Burn injury patients report reduced pain,itching and anxiety. Getting a massage can do you a world of good.And getting a massage frequently can do even more.This is the beauty of bodywork.Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you'll be and how youthful you'll remain with each passing year. And remember:just because massage feels like a pampering treat doesn't mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan.We will work together to establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.

Relax. Re-Align. Rejuvenate Your Soul.
I am a NY Licensed Massage Therapist who for many years has followed a more natural and holistic approach to life. Educated at the highly regarded Finger Lakes School of Massage, I went on to become certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Body Work and a member of the American Massage Therapy Association. For many years as an artist, I used my hands to sculpt and mold many different mediums. I found art to be therapeutic and meditative. "Art fuels the soul." After a traumatic injury, I was given the gift of therapeutic massage sessions to aid in recovery. The increased range of motion and reduction of scar tissue was amazing! Learning that massage therapy had many medical benefits opened my eyes to new possibilities. Massage therapy is transformative, both physically and mentally. I made the choice to walk down a new path, one that still enabled me to "sculpt" with my hands, and transform lives anew. But massage therapy doesn't just have medical benefits. Taking time out for oneself has many mental and spiritual benefits as well. We need to care for ourselves first, in order for us to care for others. Stress reduction, decreased recovery time, improved immune system functions, relief from tension headaches, better sleep - What's not to love about massage therapy? Compassionate, intuitive, with an ability to find those spots of tension you never even realized you had. Understanding the importance of a healthy body and realizing that many ailments can be treated with touch therapies fuels my ambitions to continue learning, exploring, and helping people. Through my training in many different massage therapy techniques, I design full body and target-specific therapeutic sessions customized to the needs of individual clients. Each massage is unique. A gift to you. I believe in the power of therapeutic body awareness. I welcome you to indulge in deep relaxation and physical healing. Relax. Re-align. Rejuvenate your soul.
