Massage Therapy Can Help You Manage Stress, Relieve Pain, Feel Better About Your Body, Lessen Depression, Improve Medical Conditions and Even Fight Off Colds...
No Wonder it Feels So Good!
Massage is one of the best antidotes for stress. It is generally accepted that upwards of 80% of all illness is attributed to excess stress. The National Safety Council estimates that 1 million employees are absent on an average workday due to stress related problems. Over 40% of worker turnover is due to work related stress. Reducing stress leaves you with more energy, decreases the possibility of injury and illness, and improves your outlook on life.
Massage strengthens the immune system and improves the condition of the skin. Massage is useful in rehabilitative care, weight loss support, treating addictions, physical exercise and self improvement programs.
Massage is something good that you can do for yourself, or give as a gift, that requires no extensive planning or physical exertion. Massage has so many benefits to offer... it is virtually impossible to list all the benefits of massage as they are numerous and we are continuously learning more!
Safe, caring touch is essential for optimum physical and emotional health! Therapeutic massage can be a vital part of living a healthier, less stressful, pain free life.
Nor does touch wane as we age, as do vision, taste, smell and hearing. Rather it continues to communicate caring, pleasure, love—even healing—all our lives. Sharon Heller, PhD
I believe massage therapy is absolutely key in the healing process not only because it relieves stress, it is obviously foundational in the healing process any time and anywhere. Joan Borysenko, Ph.D
