Benefits of massage


Scott Schwab:
We probably all would love to have more massages regularly. I wanted to post today on something that if we plan right we can have as a regular regiment. There are many benefits that we can gain through a periodic massage and I wanted to list them in no particular order.

Massage Benefits:

-Pain relief
-Eases Tension
-Relaxes inflamed or swollen joints and muscles
-Improves circulation
-Reduces Stress
-Mood enhancer
-rejuvenating (mind, body, spirit)
-Immunity enhancement
-pregnancy benefits
-lessen depression and anxiety (also winter blues)

The major benefit to the massage is the focus on the bodies largest organ; the skin. Having the skin touched, moved, and worked has the ability to allow the body the relaxation that sometimes other activities will not provide. If you exercise and workout regularly, you should get a massage regularly. Your body will be less proned to injury and problems that could affect the body. Usually you can get a cheap hour massage to try out the affects. Different bodies will gain different benefits. I recommend you getting a massage if you have never had one and if it has been awhile, it is probably time.
