Let’s pretend you have to talk yourself into getting a massage. Forget, for a second, that you already know it feels really good. Talking to the side of your brain that doesn’t know how to take care of you (or have fun), you would tell yourself that massage therapy is known to:

• Improve circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and organs.
• Naturally enhance immunity by stimulating flow of lymph, the body's natural defense against toxins. (For example, in breast cancer patients, massage has been shown to increase the cells that fight cancer.)
• Release muscular tension and pain.
• Reduce spasms and cramping.
• Increase joint flexibility.
• Help prepare for strenuous workouts and shorten recovery time.
• Release endorphins, your body’s natural painkiller.
• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
• Improve range of motion and alleviate low-back pain.
• Improve symptoms of depression and anxiety.
• Relieve pain for migraine sufferers and decrease need for medication.

This is far from a complete list. People young and old, afflicted with arthritis, sciatica, asthma, burns, high blood pressure, PMS, and a host of other diseases, chronic injuries, and stress find real relief.

The emotional balance massage produces can be as beneficial– and clearly felt– as the physical.

Massage calms the nervous system and promotes a sense of relaxation. Stress management is crucial in today’s world. Health-care practitioners estimate that 80-90 percent of disease is stress related. It’s also important to realize that therapeutic benefits of massage therapy are cumulative, making a strong case for regular sessions.
