Most of you know the basic benefits of massage, such as relaxation and increased circulation. Here are some other not so well known benefits:
Massage can help manage anxiety and depression by reducing the levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
Massage can improve sleep by the affect that it has on delta waves
Massage can ease pain, but can also help with stiffness and better range of motion
Massage can boost immunity by increasing disease-fighting white blood cells and by decreasing stress
Massage can help with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), by helping with bloating, aches and pains, and mood swings
Massage can help raise your alertness
Massage can help curb headaches, such as migraines or tension headaches
Massage can help ease cancer treatment by reducing the fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression and nausea that cancer patients endure (Note: consult your doctor to ensure massage therapy is safe with your cancer treatment).
