Benefits of Massage

You probably know that massage is great for relieving muscular tension. What you might not know that massage has many other positive, scientifically proven effects on the body and mind:

• Reduce pain
• Promote sleep
• Improve circulation
• Prevent and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety
• Raise immune function
• Improve skin tone and texture
• Bring about deep relaxation
• Enhance self perception

How can massage possibly be so good for you? Consider these important facts. Touch is the first sense the human embryo develops, which means touch is our first and most primitive means of communication. Scientists have proven that cells of the human body “remember” what happens to our bodies even if our brains forget. When you massage the body, you help the whole body and all body systems, right down to the microscopic level, to recover from stressful emotions and events.
