MASSAGE THERAPY'S BENEFITS

Massage Therapy

The Concept: Besides being blissfully relaxing, this 

ancient healing art -- which dates back more than 3,000 

years -- is said to increase your brain’s production of 

powerful painkillers called endorphins. Plus it improves 

circulation, strengthens immunity, and speeds repair of 

damaged tissues.

The Benefits: 

According to  research, most pain conditions -- including 

osteoarthritis, neck and shoulder pain, and even debilitating 

headaches -- respond well to weekly massages, with pain 

scores dropping as much as 53 percent. Follow-up 

studies suggest weekly massages also help ease 

depression by triggering a 30 percent increase in the brain’s 

production of mood-boosting serotonin. Regular massages 

can also help insomniacs get up to 60 more minutes of 

shuteye nightly, reports a study.

You’ll lie face down on a comfortable, padded table, with 

sheets draped over your body. The massage therapist will 

start with broad, flowing strokes to ease muscle tension -- 

then the pressure will gradually be increased to target 

specific areas needing TLC. Sessions generally last one 

hour.
