"Like exercise, massage does more for you if you engage in it regularly... even a monthly treatment can help maintain general health. ‘Touch is basic to survival,’ says Elliot Greene, past president of AMTA [American Massage Therapy Assn.]. That’s all the excuse anyone should need to indulge." says a Newsweek article entitled "The Magic of Touch"
Most people know that massage is soothing, relaxing and generally makes you feel good. Unfortunately, most people don't realize that massage not only benefits our muscles but subtly affects all other systems in the body. Yes, massage does relieve pain. A study released in 2011 showed just how effective massage is in relieving debilitating back pain. Dan Cherkin, Ph.D., and lead author of the study had this to say about his findings:
"We found the benefits of massage are about as strong as those reported for other effective treatments: medications, acupuncture, exercise and yoga."
That's pretty incredible if you ask me, but that barely scratches the surface of what massage can do. Massage can lower blood pressure, and its gentle touch can help you manage anxiety and depression by lowering the levels of the stress hormone cortisol and simultaneously raise serotonin and dopamine levels. Between the stress reduction and pain reduction, a regular client of massage is likely to see a great change in their life, but that's not all! It comes with a free set of knives! Just kidding, it actually improves sleep, boosts immunity by raising your white-blood cell count and improving lymphatic circulation, boosts brainpower, curbs headaches, and relieves post-workout tension and soreness. Not sounding too bad. Now, just think, if a regular massage can accomplish that, is there any reason not to schedule an appointment?
