Lasting Touch Massage approaches each session by integrating a combination of modalities to help you gain a sense of relaxation and well-being. Massage aids the body in detoxification by improving circulation through increased delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells. This allows the power of touch to assist each of us to connect with our own self healing abilities, thereby bringing our bodies into a more balanced state. 

During the session Sue can work with and address specific areas of chronic pain and dysfunction to aid in a mind-body awareness. This can help with headaches, backaches, fatigue, reducing stress, and more. Many of us have upper back and shoulder soreness from working on computers, driving, or the like. Along with the massage, due can also guide you in corrective home stretching that will assist your body on your path to wellness.
