Massage is one of the oldest modalities of medicine as a means of restoring health and eliminating stress caused by the problems of everyday life. Health or wellness means maintaining the balance of our vital energy, cultivating self-healing forces and trusting in them. We are used to pay attention to all external stimuli, but how much time do we take to reflect on ourselves, our body, our feelings, our needs and our desires? Over the last fifteen years a great deal of evidence has accumulated that massage has an impressive list of health benefits for both our bodies and our minds. Massage improves blood circulation and lymph flow. This helps to deliver nutrients to the cells and remove impurities and toxic substances. Massage also increases the blood's ability to carry oxygen. It helps release substances called endorphins that give us a sense of well-being and help fight pain. Helps muscles maintain their flexibility. Helps reduce stress.
