After a very long week, I treated myself to a relaxing massage…I was left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated…Ahh, it was exactly what I needed!
In today’s very hectic lifestyle, we seek ways to relieve stress. A massage is a great way to relieve tension and relax. In addition, a survey conducted by the American Massage Therapy Association indicated that 43% of spa-goers got massages for medical reasons and just 28% claimed stress as a primary reason for massage. The heath benefits of massage go beyond stress relief to include:
- Boosting immune function
- Reducing blood pressure
- Relieving joint and muscle pain from injury or illness
- Alleviating chronic headaches and improving mental health
Make time for a massage and enjoy the health benefits!
