Hello
Welcome! My name is Lizz Arias. I have lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for 14 years now. I have been a Massage Therapist for almost a decade. Through this time, I have been truly amazed by the human body and its ability to rest, recover and heal when given the space. This is where my work comes in. I have had the pleasure of working with all ages, all different situations and health levels. I take an intuitive approach, meaning, I listen to your body and work with it to gain momentum.
The benefits of massage are so great, and I will go into more detail. The more consistent one can be with massage those benefits increase. It is crucial to take care of ourselves and bodywork is a backbone to selfcare.
Diving Deeper
I could go on about the benefits of massage, but I will keep it light here. I do invite you to call me to discuss in more detail about what you are looking for and how massage can be helpful to you.
A list of benefits, but not limited to are; reducing stress and anxiety, calming down the nervous system, reducing inflammation, muscle tension relief, improved circulation, increased range of motion, pain reduction or management, better sleep quality, enhance relaxation, improve mood, support for specific conditions like chronic pain, headaches, and many other health conditions, it can also aid in recovery of new or old injuries and surgery. Massage Therapy can also support your immune system by activating and working with your lymph system. Massage Therapy can also be helpful after a trauma in calming down the nervous system, getting out of your sympathetic nervous system (flight or fight), and back into an equilibrium.
Massage Therapy is for all ages. Pediatric Massage can be such a beautiful piece to incorporate into your child's wellness and care. Benefits for pediatric massage include but are not limited to physical, emotional and cognitive development. Massage can also help children with conditions including chronic illness, muscle tone disorders and neurological conditions. Massage can also help with muscle relaxation, improved circulation, improved sleep, digestion and immune system support. Also, massage can support the child's body by decreasing stress and anxiety.
During a session, I do like to incorporate many different modalities. One modality that I have found to open a space of healing and truly decrease muscular tension is myofascial release (MRF). Over the years I have studied and will continue to study fascia and the effects it has on our body when it is restricted. This type of work is beautiful and very beneficial. I do like to apply it to most massage sessions.
Massage therapy and wellness is such a board topic, and again I encourage you to call to discuss any questions you may have.
Thank you for reading and I look forward to working with you.
