How Does Massage Help?
Medical professionals believe that many physical and psychological diseases and illnesses are caused by stress.
The benefits of massage extend beyond simply providing relaxation. In fact, massage can help reduce stress hormones that have been linked to various health problems, including weight gain and sleep disturbances. Additionally, massage can soothe the body physically, reduce anxiety, and aid in the treatment of conditions such as headaches, tendonitis, arthritis, and more.
In today’s fast-paced society, many of us experience burnout due to our bodies’ inadequate response to everyday life or major life-changing situations. Massage therapy can be an excellent starting point for your healing journey.
