The therapeutic effects of massage-from enhancing general health to relieving chronic conditions - can benefit anyone at any age. Indeed, massage has been shown to:
Encourage general relaxation.
Improve blood and lymph circulation.
Promote well-nourished and healthy skin.
Relieve muscle tension and pain.
Relax tired or overworked muscles.
Expand flexibility and range of motion.
Improve functioning of the immune system.
Enhance energy flow.
Combat the effects of stress.
Enhance and complement the beneficial effects of other types of health care,
such as physical and occupational therapy, chiropractic, and psychotherapy.
Alleviate problem conditions like tension headaches, muscular back pain,
sleeplessness, and arthritis.
Support fitness and sports programs, especially by relieving tired/sore muscles
and speeding recovery from physical exertion.
Fight the negative effects of aging, such as loss of tissue elasticity and
joint flexibility.
Recent studies are even showing the benefits of massage for those suffering with major illnesses. Research has documented that massage therapy reduces depression, anxiety, and anger in women with breast cancer. Another study has shown effectiveness in alleviating agitated behaviors - like mumbling and pacing - in people with Alzheimer's disease.
