Marie Demarco, LMT, CPMT
Sayville/ Bayport Massage Therapy
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.
