Up to 90% of visits to physicians are for stress-related complaints: headaches, eye-strain, backaches, depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, heart disease and just plain physical and mental exhaustion.

Muscles tighten due to stress, injury, poor circulation and repetitive movement. Tightness brings pain and discomfort. It restricts movement. Neglected, these conditions become habitual and do not go away by themselves.

Massage Therapy has an amazing effect on your body. Relaxing muscle tension and optimizing your heart rate, blood pressure and circulation, Massage Therapy counteracts stress.

Regular Massage Therapy teaches you to listen to your body. You learn to recognize your body's warning signs of stress and tension and are able to do preventive care, keeping yourself healthy.

Contracted muscles pinch nerves, causing tingling, numbness and pain.

Massage Therapy relaxes contracted muscles, relieving compression on nerve tissue.

We are a high-strung society full of stress and anxiety. We deprive ourselves of sleep, straining our nervous systems and hindering our ability to cope with day-to-day life. Routine Massage Therapy calms nerves, slows blood pressure, heart rate and breath. This allows for deeper, rejuvenating sleep.

The environment, pollution, diet, sun - all affect our skin.

Massage Therapy stimulates blood flow to the skin; nutrients are used effectively, toxins are removed and exfoliation is accelerated. Your skin will love it!

Massage Therapy stretches and loosens tight muscles and connective tissue. It breaks down scar tissue resulting from injury, surgery, etc. and prevents further scar development.

Tight muscles cannot hold much fluid or allow fluid to pass through. Think of a sponge squeezed tightly. This decreases blood flow, putting more strain on your heart, creating fatigue, soreness and chronic pain.

Loosening musculature, Massage Therapy enhances circulation enabling the body to utilize nutrients and expel wastes.

Increased blood flow equals increased immune system function; there is greater circulation through the lymphatic system

Focused attention and thorough work have produced great results for me! After twenty years of chronic neck and shoulder issues, Marietta has managed to restore health and vigor to my upper body. Her willingness to address my specific concerns lays the groundwork for my long association.

I have been a patient of Marietta's for about five years, and she has kept me dancing and performing through some very difficult times. As a performer of Cirque du Soliel, I need very specific body work to keep me ready to perform. Marietta has saved me in times when I could not even turn my head from a neck injury, and after a massage from her I was able to perform and teach in the same day. I have suffered several injuries that without the help of Marietta, would have finished my career. These days there are so many therapists that it can be difficult to find one that is trust-worthy. Marietta is extremely gifted in the art of healing, as well as extensively educated in body work, and natural healing. She is by far, the best therapist that has worked on me, and is worth every penny. I recommend Marietta to all people, and am confident that you will love her too!

It’s been a little over a year since I began receiving Marietta’s wonderful massage therapy, and it’s been absolutely great in every regard. She possesses tremendous knowledge about the mechanics and sensitivities of the human body, and successfully blends those skills with her strong intuitive wisdom. I feel fortunate to know her and am grateful for the bodywork she provides.

I am 39 years old and work as a Registered Nurse (RN). I had quantum touch done to help with lower back pain. I was suprised at the improvement I noticed after only one visit. It certainly worked!

I have been a client of Marietta Kerby for some time now. I have a medical background and feel comfortable with assessing a massage therapist’s knowledge of the human body. I feel that Ms. Kerby is by far one of the most competent practicing massage therapists in the Lakewood area. Ms. Kerby has over two decades of professional massage experience in addressing clients’ restorative health needs. She knows how to speak the language of medical professionals, while effectively communicating to her clients who are not in the medical field. I will continue to schedule massages with her because of the quality of her work and the rate of compensation that she ask for. She could easily ask for more, but continually keeps her fees extremely competitive. I would (and do) highly recommend Ms. Kerby to my friends and co-workers.

During one of my visits to my massage therapist at Able Body Massage in Lakewood, Colorado, I had an Ionic Foot Bath. I began soaking my feet and relaxed listening to the music. I look down and the water looked dark but had a hint of other colors like green, and had bubbles. I didn't like the looks of it so chose not to look at it until the end of my treatment. As my massage therapist began to clean my feet and dump the water she gave me a very thorough explanation of what the colors and bubbles represented. She also explained how this procedure cleanses and rids the body of unwanted toxins. I had my usual massage but when I left her office I had a lot of energy. I started to notice that I was very thirsty and drank a lot of water. The next day, I had more energy that I have had in quite a while, which I feel was because of the Ionic Foot Bath. I feel this procedure is very helpful and something everyone should undergo. We need to rid ourselves of toxins in order to rejuvenate and revitalize our bodies and feel energized.
