The benefits of massage are many and varied. The benefits of massage are many and varied. Anyone who has had a massage knows how well massage helps to loosen and relax tight muscles. They also know how well massage invokes the "Relaxation Response", which is a measurable physiological change in the nervous system.
Here is a list of many more benefits you can experience when including massage therapy in your life:
Improved circulation of both blood and lymph
Decreased blood pressure
Relief of tension headaches
Relief of low back pain
Healthier, better nourished skin
Improved immune system function
Release of endorphins
(the body's own natural pain killers)
Massage also significantly reduces feelings of stress. Since experts estimate that more than 90% of disease is stress-related, this translates into:
Decreased anxiety
Enhanced sleep quality
Greater energy
Improved concentration
Increased circulation
Reduced fatigue
Some experts feel the emotional balance that bodywork provides can be just as vital and important as the more tangible physical benefits. Massage does not replace the need for exercise, meditation, or proper nutrition, but combined with these three things it can facilitate a truly healthy lifestyle.
