The #1 reported benefit of therapeutic massage is reducing
stress.
By relieving muscular tensions and teaching self-care and body education,
massage can break the stress-tension cycle and promote overall wellness of mind,
body and spirit. Over the short-term, the benefits of therapeutic massage include:
~ less physical discomfort
~ more range-of-motion and/or flexibility
~ feeling energized
~ greater mind-body awareness
The benefits of massage are also cumulative and over the long-term, receiving massage
on a regular basis can provide:
~ relief from chronic pain or stress
~ relief from injury-related tension patterns
~ improved circulation of blood or lymph
~ increased mental alertness
~ greater sense of overall well-being
