Ten Great Reasons To Get A Massage
If you ever needed an excuse to justify the expense of a therapeutic massage, here's 10 of them.
1. Relieves neck, shoulder and back pain
2. Reduces stress
3. Deeper sleep
4. Reduces depression
5. Improves range of motion
6. Improves skin's condition
7. Reduces soreness in muscles
8. Improves circulation
9. Helps with mental alertness
10. It feels great!
It should be noted that there is some controversy surrounding improved circulation. Studies show that circulation is not improved following massage. However the author makes a distinction in this claim: It has been documented that circulation increases up to three times more during massage than circulation at rest.
So, that settles it. Go out and get a massage today.
