The whole idea behind ‘mind body soul’ is that your health and well-being are a result of mental health, spiritual health, and physical health.

Treatments from an RMT can help with pain management and physical mobility, but they also release neurohormones. These include dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins, just to name a few. These neurotransmitters help to promote relaxation and feelings of wellbeing. Massage therapy is just as important to the mind as it is the body, and can be a healing complement to any therapy.
