Furthermore, high levels of stress hormones interfere with the immune system making individuals more prone to diseases. In Bozeman massage therapy helps to ease the effects of these aspects on the wellbeing of these individuals.

Deep massage uses slower and more forceful strokes and targets the deeper layers of the connective tissues and the muscles. It is performed to provide relief for individuals with muscle damage resulting from injuries.
