Therapeutic Massage

Stress, tension, and pain often lodge themselves in one’s body. Using a series of strokes, pressure, and kneading, a massage therapist relaxes muscle tension, relieves pain, tones the body, and stimulates release of toxins. Although therapeutic massage focuses primarily on the surface muscles, it can also stimulate blood circulation and the lymphatic system.

Sister Mary André Gettelfinger, OSB, was trained in massage therapy in 1991 at the Wellness Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
