Massage Therapy and Cranial Sacral Therapy in NYC
Stress is unavoidable. It’s a part of all of our lives, whether you’re a student studying for a degree, a professional working hard for a promotion, or a parent trying to keep up with young children. When your body is in balance, a moderate amount of stress can actually be a good thing, because it motivates you to achieve your goals, and makes those goals all the more rewarding once you do meet them.
But all too often, our stress levels can spiral out of control, this is when the nervous system becomes dysregulated. It’s a fast-paced world that we live in. Between work, school, personal obligations, and our many other responsibilities, it’s easy to find ourselves overwhelmed by it all. Chronic stress leads to tension, which puts you at an increased risk of sustaining an injury. Stress also hinders the immune system, and it can even accelerate the aging process.
Integrative Healing Arts offers Massage Therapy and Cranial Sacral Therapy in New York City to help relieve your stress levels, reduce musculoskeletal pain, and encourage healthy muscle function.
If you’re feeling burned out and overstimulated, massage therapy can play a pivotal role in your stress management program. Massage and bodywork help to reduce stress, and regulate the nervous system making you feel more relaxed immediately after your appointment. Relieving muscle tension enhances good posture and allows you to use your body more fluidly, reducing the risk of injury, muscle fatigue, and stiffness.
Regular massage therapy sessions also stimulate the body’s self-healing abilities by increasing circulation and blood flow, relieving pain, and reducing fatigue and irritability. Even if you aren’t experiencing any stress at all, you can still reap the benefits of our Massage Therapy program. Massage therapy can be used in tandem with other therapies to keep your body in perfect alignment.
So if you need some help coping with the stress of meeting tight deadlines, or would like to take a few supportive measures to enhance your athletic performance, our Massage Therapy treatments will help you stay centered so you can give whatever you’re passionate about 110%.

Enhance your physical performance
Perhaps one of the most significant benefits of regular Massage Therapy treatments is better physical health. Routine massages relieve tense muscles, eliminate painful muscle knots, and keep your muscles loose and limber, so you can use them effectively during training.
Regular Massage Therapy sessions improve flexibility, which in turn leads to an increase in strength and range of motion. Massage can be used as a supportive measure to keep you in the best physical shape possible.
Whether you’re an athlete, a manual laborer, or simply an active person, Massage Therapy can help you identify the parts of your body that are accumulating tension. It will also help you address, and, in some cases, even eliminate your chronic pain.
Get a handle on stress
Not only does reducing muscle tension enable you to enhance your athletic performance, but it also enables you to finally get a handle on your stress levels. Eliminating built-up tension in your body helps your mind relax, and makes it easier to keep your mental, physical, and emotional energies in balance.
Obviously, being able to manage stress makes life easier and more enjoyable. However, lowering your stress levels has the added benefit of supporting your immune system. A healthy immune system can help you stave off infection and diseases, all while slowing down the signs of aging.
Support a healthy metabolism
Stress and poor lymphatic drainage, which helps the body eliminate toxins, can contribute to stubborn fat. You’ve probably noticed that whenever you're stressed, the scale stops moving. In fact, it may even go up! And it’s definitely not in your head: stress can make losing weight almost impossible.
Fortunately, with our Massage Therapy treatments, you can not only reduce stress but also enhance your body’s ability to clear out damaging toxins. Detoxing, increasing circulation, and improving lymphatic drainage, all work to speed up the metabolism. When used in tandem with our anti-aging protocols, Massage Therapy can enhance your energy levels and keep you looking and feeling amazing.
Enhance your fertility
If you and your partner have been struggling to get pregnant, massage therapy can make the process much easier. Massage Therapy is an excellent tool for enhancing sexual health and wellness, and can even help you preserve your fertility so you can continue to grow your family in the future.
For women who are trying to conceive, regular massage treatments will support healthy hormone levels, increasing your chances of getting pregnant naturally, without the help of IVF treatments. That said, our Massage Therapy program is safe to use in combination with a variety of fertility treatments and can make those treatments more effective.
Our Massage Therapy NYC program will help you take your health to the next level, no matter what your goals are.
Because massage therapy supports total body wellness, and seeks to align your mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health, it can be used as a supportive measure for many conditions.
