At Gladiator Care we are passionate about sharing our skills in massage and energy work to help our clients live happier, healthier lifestyles. ​ We are dedicated to helping our clients achieve mental, physical, and emotional health. When the body is functioning poorly it can lead to pain, loss of mobility, injury, anxiety, depression, restlessness, irritability, and more. Our goal is to improve function and mobility, reduce aches and pains, prevent injury, and help balance the mind and body. We work closely with you to understand and address your needs, create a plan, and communicate our observations and results. Preventing Injury ​ Incorporating massage therapy at an early age is a great way to keep the soft tissues of the body supple, mobile, and flexible throughout life, but for everyone it can be beneficial for preventing injury. If you play sports, workout, or have general wear and tear from work or aging tissues, massage therapy is a great way to prevent an injury by keeping or improving tissue flexibility and range of motion. We can elongate the muscles and improve blood and nutrient flow. Massage therapy is a great way to heal sore muscles, reduce inflammation and amplify the muscle cells’ repair process. Acute or Chronic Conditions & Pain Relief: Research shows that massage therapy can reduce the heart rate, improve circulation and lymph flow, and reduce blood pressure. During a massage, endorphins are released, which are the body’s natural pain killers. They bind to opioid receptors that block the perception of pain in the brain. In addition to reducing pain, though, bodywork therapy has a host of benefits for a myriad of conditions. Here are just some of the conditions that can be treated with bodywork therapy: Arthritis pain and mobility, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Bursitis, Migraines, Tendonitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Sciatica, Frozen Shoulder, TMJ, Sprains and Strains, Scar Tissue and Mobility. Gladiator Care specializes in Deep Tissue Massage, Cupping, Scraping, Trigger Point Therapy, and Reiki. ​ ​
