MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage therapy has innumerable benefits for the whole mind and body; especially in conjunction with a training regimen. Massage helps in post-workout recovery by keeping muscles lengthened, flushing out lactic acid buildup in the body, and helping improve the body's ability to function.

ADD CBD TO YOUR MASSAGE $10
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a safe, non-intoxicating, and non-addictive compound extracted from the cannabis, or hemp, plant. It interacts with the body’s natural systems to produce a wide range of health effects.
CBD is an ideal companion for massage. There have been numerous reports of topical CBD working wonders for arthritic joints, tender points, muscle spasms, phantom limb pain, peripheral neuropathy and inflammatory skin conditions. By reducing pain, inflammation and anxiety, the body reaches deeper states of relaxation. Cannabis used topically may also improve elasticity of the skin, help eliminate acne, and increase the blood flow to the skin which allows for faster healing of cuts and scrapes.
Some people are concerned that they might feel “high” after a CBD massage. Absolutely not. The CBD oil in our massage cream has virtually zero presence of the psychoactive cannabinoid, THC.
CBD Massage is generally suitable for people of all legal ages, lifestyles, and massage needs. Although we almost never hear any reports of adverse effects associated with its use, as always, consult your physician about possible drug interactions or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding. The total amount of CBD that you would receive topically in a 60-min massage session is 10-30 mg.
