MASSAGE THERAPY

Matrix Fitness Club’s senior Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Director, Group Fitness Instructor and Healing Arts Practitioner, Luz Milagros Arpino, has added to her skill set a license in massage therapy. 

Massage therapy is probably the most studied, non-drug modality that provides benefit for so many conditions that it seems inexplicable that it is not added to anyone’s calendar on a regular basis. No longer is massage considered a luxury, but a much needed tool for improving your physical and mental functioning to get the best out of your workouts. Ask elite athletes how important massage therapy is for their recovery and enhanced performance and they will probably put it right behind workouts and proper nutrition. Here are just a few exercise related benefits of regular massage.

  • Massage therapy helps to reduce muscle tension
  • Enhance exercise performance
  • Improve range of motion
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Reduce stress
  • Reduce anxiety
  • Manage low back pain
  • Promotes better sleep
  • Ease symptoms of depression
  • Promotes relaxation
  • Help relieve symptoms of chronic neck pain
  • Improve posture

Unlike a spa treatment, our massage therapist Luz does not offer a one size fits all menu. Spas usually have assorted prices for Swedish, Sports, Deep Tissue, etc.  Luz understands that your shoulders may need cupping, your hamstrings may need deep tissue, your neck may need stretching and tension release, but your feet might just need pampering. She may employ a variety of techniques in one session and there is no extra charge for your personal prescription. 

Reach out to Luz for an appointment and reap the benefits in your exercise performance and overall well-being.

There are many symptoms and illnesses that can benefit from massage therapy that can be researched through the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA).
