Massage feels great! There's nothing better for quick relaxation.
Anyone who has had a good massage knows... you feel
totally revived and relaxed. Numerous research studies
conducted in the United States, Europe, and Asia have documented
that massage therapy has an impressive range of physical, mental,
and emotional benefits.
Most people suffer from stress-related conditions such as
headaches, backaches, neck pain, poor concentration,
anxiety, depression, irritability, anger, high blood pressure,
heart disease, ulcers, as well as physical and emotional exhaustion.
Massage counteracts your negative response to stress,
relaxing muscle tension and allowing your heart rate, blood
pressure and circulation to return to normal. It not only
improves the circulation of blood and its vital nutrients, but
also increases the circulation of lymph in your lymphatic system, thus
helping your body fight off infection and speeding
recovery from injury and illness.
Massage therapy also helps you become more aware of your
body and your unconsciously held tension. As you become more aware of
your body, you will begin to recognize tension as it builds
during the day so that you can consciously release it before it can
have a negative effect on your body and mind.
