10 Things I Know About ... Benefits Of Massage Therapy

Chrudimsky

10. IT CAN BE A DAY AT THE BEACH

You can listen to crashing waves or Bob Marley on the sound system to make you feel like you're at the beach — with no chance of getting sand in your underwear!

9. IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR HEAD ...

You can manage anxiety and depression by boosting your neurotransmitters, serotonin and dopamine, and also releasing endorphins — the body's natural mood enhancers.

8. … AND YOUR BODY

Massage therapy reduces swelling and boosts the immune system by improving lymphatic drainage. It also lowers your blood pressure.

7. SHOW OFF YOUR MOVES

It also loosens stiff joints, improving posture and flexibility, giving you mobility you forgot you ever had.

6. BOUNCE BACK QUICKER

It shortens recovery time after strenuous athletic events.

5. TIME FLIES, FOR YOU AND US

After massaging you for five minutes, your spouse complains that his or her hands hurt. Massage therapists will do it for an hour without complaining.

4. UNDO TENSION

A massage can alleviate headaches caused by too much time at your computer by loosening your neck, shoulder and cranial muscles.

3. IT SHOWS EMPLOYEES YOU CARE

When brought into the workplace, massage therapy can increase productivity and show employees that their health and stress levels are being considered.

2. NO CHEMICAL DEPENDENCIES

It's less addictive, with none of the negative side effects of pain-killing medication.

1. IT CAN HELP YOUR LOVE LIFE

Feeling better physically and mentally after a massage can help your relationship with your spouse or significant other. Those benefits double if both of you have massages.
