Why get a Massage?
Why get a Massage?
Massage has often been thought of as a luxury expense. It feels so good and rewarding that it can't really be good for you, right? False! Massage just happens to be a medical wonder! In fact, it's one of the first forms of healthcare (dating back thousands of years). Therapeutic massage is one of those few things that helps you prevent health problems, can alleviate existing health problems or side-effects due to health conditions or medications, AND it just happens to feel amazing! When the side effect of a health service is decreased stress & improved mood, it doesn't get much better than that!
Sounds like a win, win, win situation to me!
It is well known that stress contributes to the promotion of disease. Perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally & externally, than high stress. Massage can help you manage your stress on a physical & mental level.
Massage directly affects the blood circulation which is responsible for all nutritional movement into the cells & toxic removal out of the cells. Because of this important job, its direct influence through massage affects all systems & functions in the human body in some way.
