Stress Away Clinic offers therapeutic massage

 

If you've yet to treat yourself to a relaxing, beneficial massage at Stress Away Massage Clinic of Laredo, call registered massage therapist Martin Escamilla for an appointment. Tucked away at Fountain Centre, the Massage Clinic offers therapeutic massage for strain, injuries, and tension, as well as for the elderly, cancer patients, those with chronic respiratory conditions, and those who seek relief from the chronic pain and fatigue associated with Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).

According to Escamilla, therapeutic massage is a remedy and health practice as old as civilization. From the ancient Greek gymnasia and Roman baths to modern day spas and health clubs, massage has been recognized for its health enhancing effects. From infancy to old age, massage enhances general health and well being through its many applications. The therapeutic benefits of massage -- recognized by personal and clinical experience and supported by scientific research -- include relaxation, improved circulation, and relief for muscle tension. Benefits are also surfacing in the ares of emotional well being, infant care, aging, and improved immune system functioning.

Escamilla believes that massage enhances general health and should be a part of health maintenance and wellness. "It also alleviates the problem conditions of muscular tension and aches, poor circulation, and stress and anxiety," he said, adding that massage can be a vital component of any sports or fitness program. "Massage will improve flexibility, relax tight or sore muscles, and speed recovery from strenuous physical exertion. It also combats the negative effects of aging by enhancing tissue elasticity, joint flexibility, improving blood and lymph circulation," he said.

Escamilla said that his clients include caregivers; individuals who do physical work; athletes; desk and assembly line workers; persons who have high stress jobs; persons recovering from illness or accidents; and travelers who have spent long hours in a car or an airplane. Escamilla established Stress Away Massage Clinic in November of 2001. He is a graduate of the Austin School of Massage Therapy and holds a Master's degree in social and behavioral sciences.
