Feeling Good: Effective Pain Relief
"...the benefits of massage are about as strong as those reported for other effective treatments: medications, acupuncture, exercise and yoga,"
The Super Stress Reliever
"Massage reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol, resulting in lifted spirits and often lower blood pressure. It can also boost the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, which are involved in depression."
Beauty Benefits
"Massage increases blood flow, which plumps up slack skin, encourages lymphatic drainage (the shuttling of toxins out and away from cells so that more nutrients can travel in) and adds vitality to a dull complexion and lackluster hair,"
Rejuvenation After Serious Illnesses, Like Cancer
"Various studies have shown that massage can relieve fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression and nausea in cancer patients."
Massage Is Especially Beneficial For People Who:
- Love a nurturing, calming touch
- Travel alot (get a massage before & after to energize & recover from
or minimize jetlag)
- Are recovering from exhausting illnesses such as cancer or need to manage pain
- Experience a lot of stress, or have physically or mentally demanding jobs
- Workout intensively
