Besides making people happy, massage is good for the body: It increases blood and lymphatic circulation, which strengthens immunity to disease, and results in less illness.
Massage isn't capable of curing any serious or life-threatening medical disorder, but it can provide welcome relief from the symptoms of anxiety, tension, depression, insomnia, and stress, as well as back pain, headache, muscle pain, and some forms of chonnic pain. It is also frequently recommended for treatment of minor sports injuries and repetitive stress injuries, and for the enhancement of physical conditioning. |
