Massage therapy is beneficial across the healthcare spectrum from mental health to athletic performance to healing after an injury or surgery. Here are 10 reasons you should consider adding massage to your care journey.
1. Stress relief: Massage can help relieve stress and conditions associated with it, such as tension headaches.
2. Improved immune function: Massage can help boost immune system strength by increasing the activity level of the body's natural “killer T cells”.
3. Improved lymphatic system: Massage can drain the lymphatic system, which helps filter out dead cells, waste products, and possible pathogens.
4. Pain management: Massage can help reduce pain and muscular soreness and tension.
5. Improved focus: Massage can help you focus and pay attention better than before.
6. Improved skin tone: Massage can improve skin tone.
