Rethink the power of a great message and find out how it can make you feel better today!

 

Weeknights are meant to be enjoyed and celebrated with your loved ones. But when you don't take care of yourself, the week often can become stressful. One way to help eliminate stress is through massage. Read on to learn all of its health benefits.

Some people might consider massage an indulgence, but today, modern medicine recognizes that it actually has physical, emotional and mental-health benefits. Try massage to help make your days and nights less stressful.

Massage rejuvenates and heals our bodies and minds. Among letting you feel pampered, it does many other things, too.

Relieve Pain
Massage stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, to alleviate the soreness, aches and pains associated with everything from arthritis to general joint and muscle pain.

Improve Circulation
The rubbing and kneading actions of massage can increase blood flow throughout the body, and can reduce one's heart rate, lower blood pressure and relax muscles.

Bolster the Immune System
Some studies show that massage stimulates an increase in the number of cells in the body that help protect us against illness and disease.

Rehabilitate
Massage can reduce swelling, relieve muscle aches and stiffness, and improve range of motion.

Reduce Stress
Not only does massage feel good, it also relaxes your body and mind, fostering reduced anxiety and a general sense of wellbeing — so you’ll be in great spirits!

Although it might seem like a cliché to feel stress and tension “melt away,” massage can do just that. Not only will you feel physically better, your mind will be at ease as well.
