Why Get a Massage?
Daily Stress, work pressure, lack of exercise and unhealthy diet are common causes that can slow digestion, decreasing concentration and sleep, inducing tense muscles leading to discomfort. With a soothing touch of massage your own body starts to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which essentially starts the process of allowing the body to relax and keep the mind calm. In addition massage can help provide numerous therapeutic benefits for health, fitness and mental well-being. It also helps improve the body's circulation, increase blood and lymph flow, stimulating the nervous system and affecting internal organs as well as all of the muscles.
