The benefits of massage are immeasurable, as they reach the physical body, mind, and spirit. As humans, the mind-body connection is extremely powerful. There's no better way of accessing that connection than through physical touch, provided with dignity and respect. A better-feeling body leads to a better-feeling mind. Practicing massage is a wonderful way to connect, to the receiver and to yourself. It builds trust and fosters a feeling of wellbeing for both the massage provider and the receiver in the work.
People seek out massage for many different reasons, including shoulder tension, back pain, joint stiffness, neck issues, jaw pain, headaches, sports injuries, arthritis, insomnia, carpal tunnel syndrome, menstrual cramps, fibromyalgia, and mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. We know that any injury or issue is made significantly worse by stress, and massage is an excellent tool for stress reduction. Massage is an important part of self-care, and works best when combined with a healthy regimen of stretching and strengthening exercises.
