Not only does massage make you feel great, but scientific evidence proves why.
HERE’S WHAT MASSAGE DOES:
- Stimulates circulation so essential to the nourishment of your cells
- Relaxes tight or sore muscles; improves muscle tone
- Increases motion and flexibility of your joints so that energy and blood can flow through your nerves and arteries
- Eliminates wastes and toxins such as lactic acid (produced by muscles during exercise)
- Keeps your vital nerve endings open and supportive of other nerve cells
- Strengthens overall immune system
- Lowers anxiety and stress hormones
- Increases productivity and efficiency
- Enhances well-being through positive touch
- Reduces blood pressure
- Raises mood-elevating brain chemicals, such as serotonin
