Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:
Decreased anxiety.
Enhanced sleep quality.
Greater energy.
Improved concentration.
Increased circulation.
Reduced fatigue.
Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:
Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system..
Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
Lessen depression and anxiety.
Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
