Reduces Stress & Tension
Of course when given a proper massage that will be relaxing & soothing for the body but it also brings down your levels of stress for better mental health. Not just short term but also long term too. And if you get a therapeutic massage routinely, you will see more of a drop in your stress levels for better overall body & mental health.
Pain Reducer
Clinical studies have shown getting hard & soft massages regulary can significantly improve areas of pain on the body. Accoriding to Harvard Health: Therapeutic massage may relieve pain by way of several mechanisms, including relaxing painful muscles, tendons, and joints; relieving stress and anxiety; and possibly helping to “close the pain gate” by stimulating competing nerve fibers and impeding pain messages to and from the brain.
Longer & Improved Sleeping
Sleep is essential for better body + mind health. Experts recommend that adults sleep between 7 and 9 hours a night. Sleeping less than 7 hours a night may lead to more health issues than people who sleep 7 or more hours a night. Getting a therapeutic massage may provide better & longer lasting sleep which in turn can improve your overall health.
Cleansing & Detoxification
During massage treatments, muscle toxins are released away from muscles that help provide relief from symptoms like fatigue, muscle pain, and headaches. Massages can also help improve the body’s circulation. That's why it is recommended after a massage to drink lots of water. With the release of all the built up toxins in the muscles, water will help flush out.
